Bipartisan Resolution Calls for Safe Return of 56 Hostages Still Held by Hamas, Urges Continued U.S. Action
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) announced that a bipartisan resolution she led in the Senate to demand the safe release of the remaining hostages held by Hamas has advanced out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Rosen’s bipartisan resolution also celebrates the release of Israeli-American Edan Alexander, calls for Hamas to immediately release the remaining hostages, and urges the White House to use every available tool to secure their freedom.
“For more than 600 days, the remaining Israeli hostages have endured unimaginable cruelty at the hands of Hamas,” said Senator Rosen. “While in Israel last week, I paid my respects at the sites where innocent people were brutally murdered or taken hostage by Hamas, and I reaffirmed my commitment to do everything I can to make sure the remaining hostages are reunited with their families. I’m glad to see this bipartisan resolution advance through committee, and I’ll keep pushing for it to be passed by the full Senate.”
Senator Jacky Rosen has been a steadfast advocate for the safety and security of Israeli and American hostages and a vocal opponent of Hamas’s acts of terror. In January 2025, she expressed strong support for a deal between Israel and Hamas to release hostages and pause fighting, reaffirming America’s commitment to Israel’s security. In October 2023, following a visit to Israel where she met with families of those taken captive, she introduced a bipartisan resolution, which later passed the Senate, condemning Hamas’s attacks and demanding the release of hostages. That same month, she also joined a bipartisan letter urging President Biden to do everything possible to rescue American hostages. These efforts reflect Senator Rosen’s ongoing leadership in pushing for accountability, supporting U.S. allies, and working to bring innocent civilians home.
