DeLauro Statement on Death of Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar

Today, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) released a statement on the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar:

"Yahya Sinwar was the terrorist who orchestrated the barbaric October 7^th attacks. It is just that he was killed by IDF forces. His death is key to Israel's security. It was also important for global security and for all those looking for stability and peace.

"It is a moment to pause and rethink how best to get back the hostages and help Gaza escape the current humanitarian crisis while ensuring Israeli citizens are able to return to the North.

"Israel must deal with Iran's ballistic missile attack in a way that ensures its security.

"Everyone loses if Hamas remains in control of Gaza. They must be defeated. However, this war is against Hamas - not the Palestinian people - and all efforts must move toward a two-state solution.

"It is time to consider a unity government that can take advantage of this unique time."
