WASHINGTON, D.C.- Today, Co-Chairs of the bipartisan Congressional Latino-Jewish Caucus, Representatives Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL), Adriano Espaillat (D-NY), Debbie Wasserman Shultz (D-FL), and Tony Gonzales (R-TX), issued the following statement on the one-year anniversary of Hamas' terrorist attack on Israel:
"Today marks one year since the devastating terrorist attack by Hamas that massacred more than 1,200 innocent men, women, and children. On this solemn day, we embrace the families of the remaining 101 hostages and join the entire world in mourning and honoring the innocent lives lost on October 7th.
Together, we must continue to fight to bring home the hostages, including the four living Americans, Edan Alexander, Sagui Dekel-Chen, Omer Neutra, and Keith Siegel and ensure their return and reunification with their loved ones, as well as bringing home the remains of three Americans who were killed by Hamas in Gaza.
As co-chairs of the bipartisan Congressional Latino-Jewish Caucus, we remain steadfast in our commitment and collaboration with our colleagues to work toward the return and reunification of the hostages with their families and to do whatever it takes to ensure the horrors of October 7, 2023 never again take place."
