"Bobby" Scott	S000185	bobbyscott.house.gov	bobbyscott	https://bobbyscott.house.gov/media-center/press-releases	scraper	WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Bobby Scott (VA-03) issued the following statement: “I was relieved to see the recent successful negotiation that allowed for a halt in fighting, the release of more than 100 Israeli hostages, and increased humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza. Like many, I am very troubled by reports of heavy losses of Palestinian civilian lives in this war. “To ensure a lasting ceasefire and peace, negotiations must include further humanitarian aid to be delivered to Gaza and a release of all hostages. Israel has a right to defend itself but, as the Biden Administration has made clear, this must be in accordance with international law which includes minimizing civilian causalities to the greatest extent possible. This will be critical as we work towards a future where Hamas is defeated and can no longer terrorize Israelis and Gazans. It will also bolster our efforts to ensuring a lasting peace in the region, a two-state solution, and the safety and dignity of the Israeli and Palestinian people.”	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-08T01:14:16Z
