Hi Friend,
After many months of working toward peace, Israel and Hamas have signed a ceasefire agreement that has gone into effect to stop the fighting and ensure the safe return of the remaining hostages.
I’m so relieved that we’ve finally reached this point, and appreciative of the hard work the Biden Administration did to help broker the agreement.
Since the horrible events of October 7, I’ve been working with my colleagues to ensure America supports Israel’s right to defend itself while also protecting the human rights of civilians in Gaza. This agreement marks a major step forward in the right direction.
The immediate next steps must be the safe return of all the hostages to their families who have waited in agony since their kidnapping. And, we must surge humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza who have suffered immensely.
Looking ahead to the future, we must continue our work toward a two-state solution so the people of Israel and Palestine can live peacefully next to each other.
This will be a long road ahead, and it won’t be easy. But I will continue doing my part to promote peace.
Thank you,
Peter
