Congresswoman McBride’s Statement on Israel-Hamas Ceasefire

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following the news reports of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, Delaware’s Congresswoman Sarah McBride issued the following statement: 

"The reports of a ceasefire agreement and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas could not be more welcome. The loss of lives, homes, and communities since October 7, 2023 in Israel and Gaza has been heartbreaking — and this is an important step toward securing safety for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

"This lifesaving agreement would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of President Biden and his administration. With this ceasefire, release of the Israeli hostages, and the ability of Palestinian civilians to return to their communities, I am optimistic that we are on a path toward stability across the region."

Congresswoman McBride is a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
