Washington, DC - Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) released the following statement regarding the violence in Israel and Gaza:
"I am heartbroken at the violence and loss of life we have witnessed in recent days," said Congressman Chris Pappas. "I join the Biden Administration in urging de-escalation first and foremost to prevent further loss of life and injury to Israelis and Palestinians, especially the countless innocent civilians caught in the crossfire. Israel has every right to defend itself against the Hamas terrorist attacks. Hamas's actions continue to threaten Israel's security and undermine the ability of the Palestinian people to live in peace. The United States must encourage respective leaders to seek a resolution that brings this violence to an end and provides Israelis and Palestinians alike with a safe and stable future."
