Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has chosen to form a unity government with Hamas.\u00a0\nCongressmen Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01), Doug Lamborn (CO-05), and Jim Jordan (OH-04) released the following statement: \u201cThe kidnapping of these innocent teenagers, including an American citizen, is despicable. The United States government should provide any resources necessary to assist in their safe return. Until these three are safely returned, the United States should suspend any aid to the Palestinian Authority. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the kidnapped children.\u201d\u00a0\nCongressman Trent Franks (AZ-08) said, \u201cIt is my sincere prayer that these precious teens are safely returned immediately. In the strongest terms possible, I fully support Israel's right to defend itself against all those who seek to do her harm, including this new unity government with\u00a0Hamas, a long-standing terrorist organization.\u201d\u00a0\n###\u00a0\nContacts:  \n\tErin Montgomery, Press Secretary  \n\tOffice of Congressman Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01)  \n\t202-225-5311  \n\terin.montgomery@mail.house.gov\u00a0\nJarred Rego, Communications Director  \n\tOffice of Congressman Doug Lamborn (CO-05)  \n\t719-520-0055  \n\tjarred.rego@mail.house.gov\u00a0\nRay Yonkura, Chief of Staff  \n\tOffice of Congressman Jim Jordan (OH-04)  \n\t202-225-2676  \n\tray.yonkura@mail.house.gov\u00a0\nBen Carnes, Communications Director  \n\tOffice of Congressman Trent Franks (AZ-08)  \n\t202-225-4576  \n\tben.carnes@mail.house.gov", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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": ["http://harris.house.gov/press-release/congressmen-harris-lamborn-jordan-and-franks-condemn-kidnapping-three-israeli"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5086978673934937, "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"}
