Connolly Statement on Resumption of Conflict in Gaza

Washington, March 18, 2025
Congressman Gerry Connolly (D-VA), a senior member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the former President of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, released the following statement:

“Israel and Hamas must recommit to the implementation of a ceasefire and secure an end to this brutal war. Hamas must release all hostages, Israel must stop the escalation and allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza, and both parties must work toward an extension of the ceasefire. The hostages deserve to be reunited with their families, Palestinians deserve to live safe and dignified lives, and the region deserves lasting peace.”
