Senator Tammy Duckworth posted:

Thank you for contacting me about Hamas’ horrific terrorist attacks against Israel. I condemn, in the strongest possible terms, Hamas’ brutal violence that began on October 7, 2023, with a complex and coordinated invasion of Israel that targeted innocent civilians and resulted in Hamas committing atrocities against Jewish families, including infants, children and the elderly.

The United States must stand in solidarity with Israel in the aftermath of these deadly terrorist attacks that resulted in the worst loss of Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust. There is never any excuse for terrorism. I was proud to cosponsor and vote for passage of S.Res.417, Standing with Israel Against Terrorism, which reaffirms the Senate’s resolve to stand with Israel and Israel’s right to self-defense and condemns Hamas’ actions and Iran’s support for groups like Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Hamas has nothing to offer the Palestinian people except for suffering, hatred and death. I reject efforts to draw a false equivalence between our democratic ally, Israel, and Hamas, a terrorist organization dedicated to the destruction of our ally and driven by a hatred of the Jewish people.

Israel has the right to self-defense in the aftermath of such indiscriminate violence and shocking atrocities against its people, and it has acted swiftly by forming a unity government and declaring war on Hamas. Importantly, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are bound by the laws of war, in stark contrast to Hamas. The IDF must conduct itself as a democracy should, taking all reasonable efforts to minimize civilian casualties and collateral damage, despite the daunting challenge of confronting an enemy, Hamas, that has demonstrated zero regard for the value of innocent Palestinian life living in Gaza.

My thoughts are with all Israelis, Americans, innocent Palestinians and other foreign citizens who lost loved ones or are suffering as result of Hamas’ deadly attack on Israel. My heart breaks for those experiencing the unimaginable anguish of worrying about a loved one taken hostage by Hamas. My office has been in regular communication with the State Department’s Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs to share my conversations with the families of hostages and receive updates on the Government’s efforts to secure these individuals’ access to essential medical care and, ultimately, safe return home. While I am encouraged to hear about the significant efforts already taken on behalf of these citizens and their families, I, along with the entire United States Government, will continue doing everything I can to ensure those held hostage can return home safely. This includes joining a coalition of Senators in writing to Egypt and Qatar, urging those governments to assist in efforts to secure the release of all hostages held by Hamas.

Like so many, I feel immense pain over the unspeakable violence that the world has witnessed in Israel over the last week and the suffering of innocent civilians in Gaza. When so many are hurting around the world, we must actively reject the kind of hatred exhibited by the likes of Hamas and prevent their rhetoric from dividing us at home. I was sickened by the shocking and tragic murder of six-year-old Palestinian-American Wadea Al Fayoume in Plainfield, Illinois. We must unequivocally confront and reject any Islamophobic rhetoric that seeks to conflate the evils of Hamas with the Palestinian people just as we renounce Antisemitism in any form.

As a Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, I will work to expeditiously confirm the Honorable Jack Lew to serve as the United States Ambassador to Israel to ensure our Nation has diplomatic leadership in place to facilitate these efforts. During Secretary Lew’s nomination hearing earlier this week, I spoke with him about the need to provide urgent medical care to the hostages being held by Hamas and ultimately bring them home safely and to ensure access to humanitarian aid for all innocent civilians who are suffering in Gaza. This is a major humanitarian crisis, and the global community must address it.

Since October 7, President Biden and the rest of the United States Government has acted swiftly to provide information and resources to families of American hostages in Gaza; engage regional partners in negotiations on freeing hostages and sending humanitarian aid to innocent civilians in Gaza; ship security assistance to Israel; and strengthen U.S. force posture in the region to deter Israel’s adversaries from launching their own attacks against Israel.

Moving forward, we must act with urgency to secure the sustained flow of humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza and restore essential services like water as quickly as we can, while continuing our efforts to ensure hostages receive urgent medical treatment and are safely brought home as soon as humanly possible. Innocent life needs to be protected consistent with laws of armed conflict. These actions mark both moral imperatives—helping innocent civilians—and steps toward ensuring Israel’s security. I have called for this on the Senate floor and joined my colleagues in sending letters to the Administration advocating for the immediate provision of necessities like food, water and medicine to innocents in Gaza; a pathway for sustained aid to enter the territory; and a substantial U.S. contribution to the UN’s work to address the growing humanitarian crisis.

Additionally, President Biden committed to submitting a formal request to Congress for additional emergency supplemental security assistance that will ensure Israel possesses the capabilities and capacity to defend itself. As a Member of the Senate Committees on Armed Services and Foreign Relations, I am deeply committed to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to act on the President’s forthcoming request. It is ultimately in our Nation’s interest to uphold the post-World War II order by helping our allies and partners, such as Israel and Ukraine, defend themselves against destabilizing threats, including terrorism and authoritarian invasion.

As your Senator, I will always condemn terrorism and hatred and affirm the right of Jewish and Muslim people to live peacefully around the world. Even in this dark moment we must not lose sight of our long-term hope for achieving shared security and peace through a permanent two-state solution that respects the right of Israel to exist, while finally providing the Palestinian people with a country to call home.
