After more than two years of enduring a manmade living hell, this week the Jewish nation welcomed home the last of the living hostages stolen by Hamas more than two years ago.

We are profoundly grateful to President Trump for his leadership in bringing these 20 individuals home. Yet also, we have not forgotten the others brutally killed by Hamas.

We grieve deeply for the lives lost; their murders are a permanent wound on the conscience of the world and a stark reminder of the cruelty the Children of Israel have endured. We honor their blessed memories and stand with their families in mourning.
