He has killed and terrorized Israelis, Americans, Palestinians, and countless innocent people for decades, and the world is safer without him.\n\n\u201cWith Hamas leaderless, there is a now critical opportunity in Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should seize the moment to finalize a ceasefire, secure the release of the hostages, and begin the recovery process in Gaza, including greater humanitarian relief. I hope that today proves to be a practical and symbolic breakthrough that allows us to get on a better course and leads to regional deescalation.\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://www.reed.senate.gov/news/releases/reed-statement-on-death-of-hamas-leader-yahya-sinwar"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9011002257466316, "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"}
