BLUMENTHAL STATEMENT ON THE RELEASE OF ISRAELI HOSTAGES

[WASHINGTON, D.C.] - U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) issued the statement below after the Israeli hostages still held by Hamas were released to their families. Hamas must still release the bodies of hostages killed over the last two years.

"I am filled with joy and relief by release of the hostages, even as my heart breaks for families whose loved ones have perished. I fervently hope this momentous day, the still fragile cease fire and ongoing talks will lead to lasting peace, with humanitarian aid beginning right away."
