Congressman Morgan McGarvey’s Statement on the Ceasefire Agreement to Release Hostages and Provide Humanitarian Relief
LOUISVILLE, KY (November 22, 2023) – Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey released the following statement:
“The freeing of 50 hostages, a temporary ceasefire, and the increase in humanitarian aid to Gaza is a welcome and desperately needed development. I’m grateful that President Biden managed to navigate the complexities of the crisis and negotiate an agreement that will save lives.
"Whether we will look back on this as a momentary pause or a significant step toward stopping the violence and achieving peace remains to be seen. I will continue to advocate for an immediate end to this war that stops the rockets going into and out of Gaza and Israel, saves innocent lives, sees the safe return of all hostages, and results in new leadership, free from terrorism, for the Palestinian people in Gaza so a two-state solution can be realized.”
