U.S. Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina has commented on the release of all living Israeli hostages from Hamas captivity. The release marks the first phase of a plan for peace in the Middle East led by President Trump.
In his statement, Sen. Scott said, “After two years of captivity by Hamas terrorists, every living Israeli hostage is finally home. This historic achievement is the result of President Trump’s bold leadership and unwavering commitment to peace through strength. As the world rejoices in seeing these hostages reunite with their loved ones, it is also witnessing the reality that when America leads, the world is a safer place.”
The return of the hostages comes after an extended period in which they were held by Hamas, and follows diplomatic efforts under President Trump’s administration.
