Rep. Courtney Statement on Ceasefire Between Israel and Hamas

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Joe Courtney (CT-02) issued the following statement after President Biden announced a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas following months of intensive diplomacy. 

“Today’s Gaza ceasefire, whose structure was designed last May by the U.S. and endorsed by the United Nations, will finally bring relief to Israeli hostages and thousands of innocent non-combatant Palestinians who need immediate help. The tireless shuttle diplomacy of Secretary Blinken and his teammates, Amos Hochstein and Brett McGurk, will be long remembered for saving lives and fostering a new direction towards stability in the Middle East.”
