"Today marks the one year anniversary of the worst attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. As our resolution makes clear, we condemn Hamas for its brutal terrorist attack on Israel, reject the age-old sickness of antisemitism, and demand the safe release of remaining hostages from the Gaza Strip. The United States stands with Israel and supports its right to defend itself," said Senator Young.

As the resolution outlines, the entire Senate Republican Conference stands united in condemning Iran-backed Hamas' use of rape as a weapon of war. The senators also reiterate Israel's right to defend itself and the need to deny Hamas the ability to reconstitute in the region to ensure the horrific events of that day are never repeated. Finally, the resolution also opposes violent antisemitic protests.
