Quigley Statement on Gaza Ceasefire Agreement

Today, U.S. Representative Mike Quigley (IL-05) released the following statement:

“After two years of devastating violence, the first phase in a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas is long-awaited good news. I will be watching developments very closely, and I call on all parties to fully implement the agreement. 

“In the coming days, I hope to see the violence stop, all remaining hostages be released, and a significant surge in humanitarian aid into Gaza. The United States and our partners in the region must do our part to help maintain a lasting peace, ensure Israel’s long-term security, rebuild Gaza, and establish a true path forward for the peaceful coexistence of two states for the Palestinian and Israeli people.”
