Congressman Krishnamoorthi Commends Ongoing Negotiations For A Humanitarian Ceasefire In Gaza, Reaffirms Need For A Two-State Solution

WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi issued the following statement on the ongoing negotiations for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza:

“I commend the efforts thus far of all parties—including Israel, Egypt, Qatar, and the Biden Administration— negotiating a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, where Hamas would release hostages, and humanitarian aid would reach Palestinians in Gaza. A prolonged pause in hostilities is a critical step toward eventually ending this conflict, but I renew my call to ensure the collective goal of pursuing a two-state solution. In order to have any hope of breaking this tragic cycle of violence, our focus must also include building a path for a two-state solution between the Israelis and Palestinians.”
