WASHINGTON D.C. – Today, Senator Andy Kim (D-NJ) released the following statement marking two years since Hamas’s horrific terrorist attack on October 7^th, 2023: 

“Two years ago, nearly 1,200 Israelis were killed and over 250 hostages taken during Hamas’s horrific terrorist attack on October 7th. I continue to mourn with the families and communities of those murdered and cannot imagine the excruciating pain of having a child, parent, or sibling held captive for all this time. I think of Edan Alexander from New Jersey and what he and his family endured for 584 days. Too many families will never be reunited, but I hope that we are closer than ever to a diplomatic agreement that can return hostages home, end the violence, and hopefully lead to the elusive durable peace that all deserve.”
