Smith released the following statement:\n\n\u201cYesterday, the Israeli Defense Force killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. His death has been confirmed by DNA tests.\n\n\u201cSinwar played a central role in the brutal October 7th massacre in Israel that killed more than 1,200 men, women, and children -- including 46 Americans -- and kidnapped hundreds more. Many hostages remain in captivity, including several Americans.\n\n\u201cThe challenge that now faces Israel is how to move from this moment to finally achieve a ceasefire, a return of the hostages, and deliver necessary aid to the people of Gaza to end the humanitarian crisis. There is a new opportunity to end Hamas\u2019 grip on the Palestinian people of Gaza and a chance for Israel and civilians in Gaza to establish a lasting, secure peace in the region. A ceasefire agreement must be achieved.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:57:20Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://adamsmith.house.gov/news/press-releases/rep-smith-statement-death-hamas-leader-yahya-sinwar"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.877629965543747, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
