Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) joined Sens. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), John Fetterman (D-Pa.) and all Senate Republicans in a bipartisan resolution condemning Iran-backed Hamas terrorists and supporting an outcome to the war that ensures the forever survival of Israel.\n\nThe senators called for the release of all remaining hostages, including the remains of two United States citizens, and voiced support for the complete denial of Hamas\u2019s ability to reconstitute in the region.\n\n\u201cThe October 7th terrorist attack against Israel was the single deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. It was shocking and disgusting. Senate Republicans are sending a clear message that the United States will continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Israel, especially as antisemitism continues to rise across the globe,\u201d Grassley said.\n\n\u201cTwo years ago today, I awoke in the Middle East to horrific news \u2013 Israel was under attack by Iran-backed Hamas and Americans had been killed and taken hostage,\u201d Ernst said. \u201cI immediately traveled into Israel to stand with our ally against Iran-backed terror. Since then, I traveled to the region seven times and met with our Middle East partners to bring our hostages home and end the war. Now that President Trump has restored American leadership on the world stage, I have renewed optimism and will continue to support his peace through strength vision, so another October 7 never happens.\u201d\n\nAdditional cosponsors include Sens.
