Smith Statement on Death of Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar | 2024-10-18 | 2024 | 2024-10 | Democrat | House | WA | Adam Smith | S000510 | adamsmith.house.gov | adamsmith | https://adamsmith.house.gov/news/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Smith released the following statement: “Yesterday, the Israeli Defense Force killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. His death has been confirmed by DNA tests. “Sinwar 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. “The 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’ 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.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z |
