Cotton Statement on Release of Hostages from Gaza

Washington, D.C. — Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) issued the following statement on the release of the hostages from Gaza:

“I join all Arkansans in rejoicing at the release of twenty living hostages from Gaza. I commend President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu for this monumental achievement. We will not forget the deceased hostages and we will endeavor to secure the release of their remains so their families may lay them to rest properly. And we will never again allow Hamas to threaten the United States and our friends.”
