“My thoughts go out to the families of the 134 hostages still being held in Gaza by Hamas, and I am praying for all of the hostages’ safe return home. The hostages have been held in Gaza for 179 days, and of the 134 hostages, five of them are U.S. citizens still believed to be alive, and two of them are New Yorkers. It is horrifying to see this level of inhumanity persist, and I can only imagine what the families of these victims are going through. I strongly support this bipartisan effort and am proud to partner with the New York Chapter of ‘Run for Their Lives’ to bring these individuals home. We must stand together and do everything we can to bring them home now.”
