Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (D-GA) released the following statement on the first anniversary of the horrific October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack on Israel:

"One year ago today, the world watched in horror as we witnessed a devastating attack on defenseless Israelis by Hamas terrorists. The immense pain of that tragedy remains immeasurable, and I continue praying for all those mourning lost loved ones and for the urgent return of all of Hamas' hostages.

"As we observe this tragic anniversary, I reaffirm my strong commitment to supporting Israel's ability to defend its people against terror and violence, especially in the wake of Iran's recent assault and continued funding of proxy forces to antagonize our ally.

"I also deeply recognize the continued suffering being endured by defenseless Palestinian civilians and will continue doing everything I can to support a lasting peace that ensures justice and security for all people in the region, including a two-state solution that honors the humanity of Israelis and Palestinians. We must all keep pressing toward a future where both Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace, safety, and dignity."
