NEW YORK – After President Trump announced that Israel had secured an agreement paving the way to bring its hostages home from Gaza, Amb. Ronald S. Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, issued the following statement:
“We have a deal.
“After more than two years of anguish, 20 hostages will soon return home to their families and to the people of Israel. It should never have taken this long — but today, hope is finally becoming reality.
“I want to thank President Trump, the United States government, and all those whose determination, patience, and moral clarity made this agreement possible. Their leadership has brought us to this long-awaited moment.
“We also remember the hostages who will not return alive. Their memory strengthens our resolve — we will not rest until every last one of them is brought home.
“This agreement marks a historic turning point. Hamas must now be disarmed and excluded from any future role in Gaza. Only then can there be lasting peace and security for Israel and for the region.
“Am Yisrael Chai.”
