Congressman Glenn Grothman (R-WI) released the following statement on the one-year anniversary of the unprovoked Hamas attack on Israel.
“As we mark the one-year anniversary of the horrific attack on Israel, we are reminded of the profound impact that day had on countless lives and the enduring scars it left on the Israeli people. The coordinated assault by Hamas, targeting innocent civilians, including women and children, was a stark reminder of the evil that exists in this world," said Congressman Grothman. "Israel has every right to continue defending itself against such unprovoked aggression, and it is essential that the United States continues to stand firmly with our strongest ally in the Middle East. The resilience of the Israeli people in the face of this tragedy is a testament to their strength and unity.”
“The details of the attack are even worse than publicly known because they are too graphic to be printed. Civilians who tried to help hostages were targeted by Hamas in Gaza. We remind the world that the conflict which spun from this attack on Isarel could end anytime if Hamas surrendered.”
"As we remember the victims and honor their memory, we must also acknowledge that many hostages remain in the hands of Hamas, enduring torture, and pray for their safe return home. We also grieve with the families of the hostages who were brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists. We must recommit ourselves to combating terrorism and ensuring that no nation faces such violence alone.”
