WASHINGTON — U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) today delivered the following remarks on the Senate floor: Thune’s remarks below (as delivered): “Mr. President, I want to join my colleague, Senator Grassley from Iowa, and before I begin, mention the release of the hostages on Monday. “After more than two years in captivity, the final 20 living hostages were returned to Israel and reunited with their loved ones. “To see the peace process moving forward is an occasion for immense gratitude. “And I hope that both sides will adhere to the terms of the agreement so that this can mark the beginning of an end to the bloodshed. “That includes the prompt and respectful return by Hamas of the remains of the deceased hostages. “I know that President Trump – without whom this would not have happened –Secretary Rubio, and others continue to work to hammer out the remaining steps of the peace process. “That will have to include disarming Hamas, and ensuring that the organization plays no future role in governance in the Gaza strip. “My prayers are with the president, Secretary Rubio, and all of those on both sides who are working to make peace a reality.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z |
