Gillibrand Statement On The Anniversary Of The October 7 Attack On Israel

Oct 7, 2024

U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand issued the following statement on the first anniversary of the October 7 attack on Israel:

"Today is an incredibly sad and somber day as we remember the twelve hundred innocent people who were brutally murdered a year ago in the October 7 attack. These were grandparents, parents, children, and infants. They were young people at a concert, families building their lives, and advocates working for peace. My heart and prayers are with their families and friends. May their memories be a blessing.

We must also remember that there are around one hundred hostages still being held by Hamas, including a number of Americans. While the situation remains extremely difficult, we must recommit ourselves to bringing them home as swiftly as possible. I pledge that I will not rest until they're back home."
