WASHINGTON — Speaker Johnson issued a statement this morning after all 20 living hostages were released from Hamas captivity following Israel and Hamas agreeing to the first phase of President Trump’s historic Middle East peace plan.
“For the first time in 738 days, there are no living Israeli hostages in the hands of Hamas. In just eight and half months in office, President Trump and his Administration have ensured the safe release and return of all 20 living Israeli hostages from Hamas captivity, putting lasting peace in the Middle East within reach.
“This is a day of profound hope and joy for the entire free world, and a day only possible under the leadership, strength, and fortitude of President Trump. With this historic achievement, President Trump has accomplished what others have only talked about — or tried and failed.
“Time and time again, the President is demonstrating that American strength delivers peace.”
