U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) issued a statement on the second anniversary of the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas. Fischer reflected on the events and expressed support for Israel and those affected.
“As we mark two years since Hamas’ cold-blooded attack on Israel, we honor the memory of those brutally murdered on October 7, 2023, including the hostages killed by this terrorist group. We continue to pray for the safe return of all those still in captivity. I stand firmly with Israel against Hamas’ heinous disregard for human life. Lasting peace demands the return of every hostage, the end of this devastating war, and the complete defeat of Hamas,” Fischer stated.
On this anniversary, Fischer also cosponsored a resolution that condemns the October 7th attack. The resolution supports measures to ensure Israel's survival, prevent Hamas from reestablishing itself in the region, and calls for the release of all remaining hostages from Gaza, including two U.S. citizens.
