Congressman Jeff Van Drew issued a statement regarding the safe return of the remaining hostages, following an agreement brokered by President Trump. The deal led to the release of individuals who had been held for years.
“The release of these hostages is incredible news and something we can all come together to celebrate,” said Congressman Van Drew. “These innocent people have lived through the unimaginable—years of fear, isolation, and heartbreak. Today, the prayers have been answered, and their families are finally whole again. This is a day of relief, hope, and unity. Now, Hamas must uphold the rest of the agreement and fully honor its commitments. America stands firmly with Israel as we celebrate this long-awaited homecoming.”
The statement comes after ongoing efforts to secure the freedom of hostages held by Hamas. Congressman Van Drew emphasized that while this marks a positive development, he expects all parties to fulfill their obligations under the agreement.
