Hamas Rejects Hostage Deal While Israel Works to Free the Hostages Smart Brevity® count: 2 mins...578 words Friend of Israel, Following Hamas’ October 7 massacre, Israel has been fighting for months to drive Hamas from power in Gaza, destroy Hamas’ terror capabilities, and free all the hostages. While Israel works to restore security to the people of Israel, Hamas is prolonging the war in Gaza and calling for more bloodshed. The terror group has rejected the latest hostage deal terms agreed to by Israel and negotiated with the United States, Egypt and Qatar. Israel agreed to pause the fighting, send more aid into Gaza, and free hundreds of imprisoned Palestinian terrorists, but Hamas has so far refused to free the hostages. Notably, those leading the calls in Congress for an immediate ceasefire have failed to condemn Hamas. What they’re saying: Rep. Ritchie Torres further exposed how these members are quick to criticize Israel but fail to unequivocally condemn Hamas, and Rep. Jared Moskowitz called out Hamas' sick strategy.
While rejecting the deal, Hamas called on Arabs to storm the al-Aqsa Mosque on Ramadan. In a televised speech, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh called on residents of the West Bank and Jerusalem to barricade themselves inside the mosque and "break the siege." Hamas is responsible for the murder of more than 1,200 innocent Israelis and for the ongoing humanitarian situation in Gaza. Pro-Israel Americans must continue stand with the Jewish state and take action to ensure our leaders in Congress and the White House do the same. You can help right now by calling your members of Congress and urging them to continue standing with Israel. Thank you, Doug Hochberg AIPAC Digital Director |

A Majority of Americans Stand with Israel New national polling data that shows the majority of Democrats and Republicans continue to stand with Israel as it fights to destroy Hamas and free the hostages. Key takeaways:
The bottom line: These numbers demonstrated that the small but vocal anti-Israel fringe in Congress does not represent the American people. It’s vital that our leaders continue to support Israel in the face of Hamas’ terrorism. |
