RSC Leaders Celebrate Trump's Historic Achievement in Securing Hostage Release
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the Republican Study Committee (RSC) celebrates the safe return of all 20 living Israeli hostages who endured more than two years in Hamas captivity. Thanks to President Trump's historic Gaza Peace Deal, these innocent men, women, and children are finally reunited with their families.
President Trump's unwavering commitment to securing the freedom of every hostage demonstrates the power of peace through strength diplomacy. His decisive leadership not only brought these families back together but has laid the groundwork for lasting stability in the Middle East.
The Republican Study Committee stands firmly with Israel and commends President Trump for his extraordinary achievement in bringing closure to these families:

I'm incredibly grateful for President Trump's unwavering leadership and his team’s relentless commitment in making this long-awaited day possible. While others talked, he acted. Peace through strength works."
“The release of all 20 remaining hostages held in Gaza by Hamas terrorists is a powerful testament to President Trump’s steadfast leadership and his commitment to peace through strength. His bold approach to foreign policy restored America’s credibility on the world stage and made clear that our nation stands firmly with its allies and against terrorism. President Trump’s decisive diplomacy laid the foundation for greater stability in the Middle East, and today’s outcome reflects America’s enduring resolve to advance peace across the region,” said RSC Vice-Chair Ben Cline (VA-06).
“We applaud President Trump’s strong leadership in securing the release of the 20 living Israeli hostages. Israel’s righteous war against Hamas is now another step closer to its conclusion. President Trump’s peace through strength agenda has the entire Middle East region on the verge of a lasting peace,” said RSC Messaging Task Force Chair Mark Alford (MO-04).
"After two long, painful years, twenty innocent men, women, and children are finally home with their families. Their release is a powerful reminder that American leadership can change history. President Trump deserves enormous credit for delivering what no one else could: the freedom of the hostages, an end to the violence, and a path to peace rooted in American strength," said RSC National Security Task Force Chair Zach Nunn (IA-03).
