“Our visit with Jordanian, Israeli, and Palestinian leaders underscored the critical role the United States must continue to play in promoting and ensuring long term stability and peace in the region. Our discussions reaffirmed the urgent need to support a restored mutual ceasefire that ensures the safe release of all hostages and increases the flow and scale of humanitarian aid into Gaza to adequately address the magnitude of suffering on the ground. It’s imperative that the United States uphold our commitment to ending this conflict and ensure that we put an end to Hamas’ capabilities so that something like October 7th never happens again. We must remember that the path towards a just and lasting peace is dependent upon our renewed commitment to a comprehensive two-state solution, in which we affirm and protect Israel’s right to exist as a democratic Jewish state and ensure the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and a state of their own.”
