Statement of Senate Intel Chairman Mark R. Warner Welcoming Israel Hezbollah Cease fire

WASHINGTON - Today, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Mark R. Warner (D-VA) released the following statement:

"This agreement to end the war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, which has killed thousands of people, is a welcome development for the region and should increase pressure on Hamas to reach a cease-fire agreement to end the fighting and destruction in the Gaza Strip, which has already claimed so many innocent lives. I applaud diplomatic efforts by the Biden administration and other international partners over many months in helping to reach this point."
