Today, Congressman Rudy Yakym (IN-02) issued the following statement after all 20 living hostages were released from Hamas’ captivity following Israel and Hamas agreeing to the first phase of President Trump’s historic Middle East peace plan.
“Today marks a new dawn for the Middle East and the world. After two horrific years in Hamas’ captivity, the hostages are finally home.
“President Trump’s unwavering commitment to pursue peace against all odds and his steadfast leadership have shown that peace is not merely a dream but a reality that renews our faith in humanity and reminds us that hope can prevail even in the darkest times.
