“I am proud to have co-led this House Resolution condemning the atrocities committed by Hamas in its war against the people of Israel. This resolution is a testament to the unwavering solidarity of Congress in the condemnation of the ruthlessness perpetrated by Hamas. Hamas’ crimes are unfathomable in their depravity and inhumanity. We must roundly condemn this evil, hold the perpetrators accountable, and work to ensure it never happens again. I remain steadfast in my support of Israel and in my efforts to combatting the evil that is Hamas, and working with my colleagues for the safe return of those still held hostage.” - Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart
