Landsman Statement on Israel and Hamas Ceasefire

<p><strong><em>Cincinnati, OH</em></strong><em> – Today, Congressman Greg Landsman (D-OH-01) released the following statement after the Gaza ceasefire deal began:</em></p>

<p>This is a hopeful moment.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The living hostages are home, and we could be nearing the end of this awful war.&nbsp;</p>

<p>What happens next will require enormous U.S. leadership &#8211; to help build and sustain a coalition of Arab, Israeli, and Palestinian leaders committed to rebuilding Gaza without Hamas and achieving a lasting peace.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This won’t be easy and it’s not going to happen over the course of a few days or weeks. This will require dedicated leadership and the broadest coalition possible for a sustained period of time &#8211; until we have a durable peace in the Middle East.</p>
