Pappas Statement on One Year Anniversary of Hamas’s October 7th Attack on Israel

Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) released the following statement to mark the one-year anniversary of Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7: 

“One year ago, Hamas terrorists coordinated a horrific attack on Israel that resulted in the murder of 1,200 innocent people and hundreds taken hostage, including both Israelis and Americans. We remember those lost to this hate-fueled brutality, continue to stand with Jewish communities still recovering, and remain steadfast in our commitment to bringing home the remaining hostages alive.”

“On this solemn anniversary, my heart is with the people of Israel and all Jewish communities in New Hampshire and around the world. Israel has a right to defend itself and ensure the safety of its people. We must continue to demand the safe return of the hostages who are still being held, speak out against these heinous acts of terrorism, and always stand up to hatred, bigotry, and antisemitism.”
