Hoping the war ends this week, hostages are returned and needed aid flows into Gaza
MEMPHIS – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) today released the following statement observing the second anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attacks and hostage taking in 2023 in Israel:
“On this solemn anniversary, there is reason to be hopeful that the war will soon end – perhaps this week – and that remaining hostages will be released to their families. It is past time for adequate levels of food and medical aid to flow into Gaza and for a semblance of peaceful co-existence to be restored.”
Congressman Cohen is an original cosponsor of a October 7 Commemoration Resolution and the October 7 Gold Medal Act to provide the Congressional Gold Medal to American victims of October 7, including Americans who survived captivity in Gaza.
