Press Releases

WASHINGTON, DC—Today, Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Jim Himes released the following statement on the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar:

“Justice has finally been delivered to Yahya Sinwar, who planned and executed the terrorist attack that killed more than a thousand innocent Israelis on October 7^th, 2023, and who has repeatedly sabotaged efforts to reach a ceasefire and the release of hostages. This is a moment for the United States, Israel, and our allies to move towards a ceasefire agreement that will bring home the remaining hostages and begin to return stability to the region, including a realistic plan for a future in Gaza without Hamas’s malignant influence.”
