WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Julie Johnson (TX-32), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released the following statement on the ceasefire deal reached between Israel and Hamas.
“Since this war began, the United States has worked tirelessly with our partners in the region to get the hostages released and put an end to the fighting,” said Johnson. “I am pleased to see that a deal has been reached between Israel and Hamas that will free many of the hostages, save innocent lives, and bring us one step closer to peace across the region. As a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, I will continue to work in a bipartisan way to make sure that this deal is implemented, humanitarian aid gets to the Palestinian people, and that all the hostages, both living and deceased, can return home to their loved ones.”
Today, Johnson spoke with ABC’s Terry Moran and Kyra Philips on the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. You can view her interview here.
