Sens. Rick Scott, Jacky Rosen Resolution Remembering Americans Murdered by Hamas in October 7th Terrorist Attacks Unanimously Passes Senate October 1, 2026 WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, U.S. Senators Rick Scott and Jacky Rosen’s resolution to honor the innocent Americans murdered and taken hostage by Hamas terrorists on and after October 7th, 2023, and “reaffirm the commitment of the United States to seek legal justice on behalf of their families,” unanimously passed the U.S. Senate. During the October 7th attacks, Hamas terrorists deliberately targeted and murdered more than one thousand innocent people, including at least 46 Americans, in Israel. Among their civilian targets were women, infant children, and the elderly in their homes. The terrorists also took 251 hostages, including 12 Americans, some of whom were held and tortured for more than a year. Senator Rick Scott said, “Three years ago, the world watched in horror as Hamas terrorists massacred innocent civilians, including American citizens. Families were torn apart, communities were decimated, and innocents, including babies and young children, were barbarically murdered. Americans were among the victims. There is no moral gray area here; Hamas is evil. Our country must protect our people and has a duty to secure justice for them. I was proud to work with Senator Rosen to honor the Americans whose lives were unjustly taken from them and the hostages who will spend the rest of their lives scarred by that tragic day.” Senator Jacky Rosen said, “It is our responsibility to make sure the world never forgets the unspeakable violence carried out by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023 – the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. I introduced this bipartisan resolution to honor the Americans who were killed on that day and those taken hostage by Hamas. It also honors the hostages’ families, who demonstrated remarkable courage during a time of intense grief and anxiety by being steadfast and fierce advocates for the return of their loved ones. Today, nearly three years after the horror of October 7, we mark this tragic date and reaffirm our commitment to supporting the American victims and their families and all those held hostage around the world.” Full text of the resolution can be found here . ### https://www.rickscott.senate.gov/2026/10/sens-rick-scott-jacky-rosen-resolution-remembering-americans-murdered-by-hamas-in-october-7th-terrorist-attacks-unanimously-passes-senate
