U.S. Congressman Mike Flood has issued a statement marking the first anniversary of the attacks carried out by Hamas on October 7, 2023. The statement commemorates the more than 1,200 individuals who lost their lives and the hundreds taken hostage during these events.
Congressman Flood highlighted ongoing challenges faced by Israel, stating that "a year later, Israel not only continues to fight back against Hamas, but now faces attacks from Hezbollah and Iran." He also noted that over 100 hostages remain in captivity.
Emphasizing the need for vigilance against terrorism, Flood declared, "Terrorist groups must never be allowed to carry out another attack like the one the world witnessed on October 7, 2023." He reaffirmed U.S. support for Israel in its efforts to rescue hostages and restore peace: "The United States continues to stand with Israel as they seek to bring home the remaining hostages, root out these sources of terror, and find a return to stability and renewed peace in the region."
