Schatz Statement On Death Of Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawai‘i), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, released the following statement on the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

“As the leader of Hamas and the mastermind of the October 7th attack in Israel, Yahya Sinwar is responsible for the murders of thousands of innocent civilians, including Americans. His death is welcome news, and we hope it will provide a measure of justice and comfort to the families of victims and hostages terrorized by Hamas. At the same time, this news should set the stage for an end to this cycle of violence and bloodshed, the return of all remaining hostages, and lasting stability and peace in the region.”
