New York, NY — Betsy Berns Korn, Chair, and William C. Daroff, CEO, of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, issued the following statement:
We welcome President Trump’s strong and unequivocal call for Hamas to surrender and release the hostages. This is the moral clarity the world needs.
The fastest way to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is for Hamas to lay down its arms and return the hostages to their families. These innocent men, women, and children deserve to be on the beach this summer — not trapped in terrorist tunnels beneath Gaza.
We urge world leaders to echo this call and demand Hamas end this nightmare — today.
#BringThemHomeNow
