Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) continued to call for Hamas to release its hostages six months after its operatives kidnapped them from southern Israel.
Since the Oct. 7 attack, Fetterman has displayed the photos of all the hostages Hamas took on his Senate office walls. The terrorist organization is holding over 100 hostages, according to Israel Defense Forces, though exact numbers are unclear with Hamas’s recent announcement they did not have 40 hostages who fit the criteria for a deal with Israel. At least 30 hostages have died in captivity.
“With a somber Passover approaching, I remain committed to speaking about this travesty and acknowledge there can’t be true lasting peace until the hostages are home,” Fetterman wrote in the caption of a video on X. “And I’ll never understand why we’re not talking about that more and why there’s not more stories about that in the media,” Fetterman says in the video. “It’s very clear that we always make sure that we always talk about this and demand that and make sure until every last one is accounted for and brought back home.”The Pennsylvania senator called for Hamas to surrender and turn over the rest of the hostages. Fetterman has staunchly taken Israel’s side since Hamas invaded nearly 170 days ago.
Hamas agreed to release some hostages last year in exchange for Palestinians in Israeli prisons who allegedly committed crimes. During a temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas last November in which hostages were exchanged, Hamas abruptly ended the agreed-upon pause early by launching missiles at Israel.
