Majority Leader Schumer Statement On The Death Of Hassan Nasrallah

New York, N.Y. -Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) today released the following statement after an Israeli airstrike killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

"Hezbollah has the blood of hundreds of Americans on its hands. The world is safer and better off without Nasrallah's terrorism and oppression, and I will continue to support Israel's right to defend itself against terrorism.

"The United States and its partners must maintain efforts to ensure Israel's security, deter and prevent Iranian-backed actors from expanding this conflict, and pursue regional stability."
