Trump announced that Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of a peace deal.\n\n\u201cPresident Trump ran on restoring peace at home and abroad. As of tonight, the Middle East is approaching peace,\u201d said Senator Ricketts. \u201cNow, Hamas must release all the hostages without delay. It\u2019s been two long years these hostages have been held inhumanely by terrorists. It\u2019s past time they came home. It\u2019s equally important that the remains of those hostages that were killed in Gaza, including two Israeli-Americans, Itay Chen and Omer Neutra, are returned to their families.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:32:54Z"]], "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.ricketts.senate.gov/news/press-releases/ricketts-statement-on-middle-east-peace-deal/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 3.2244441099464893, "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"}
