Congressman Rudy Yakym of Indiana's 2nd District released a statement following the release of 20 hostages who had been held by Hamas for two years. The release occurred after Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of President Trump's Middle East peace plan.

"President Trump’s unwavering commitment to pursue peace against all odds and his steadfast leadership have shown that peace is not merely a dream but a reality that renews our faith in humanity and reminds us that hope can prevail even in the darkest times.
"Because of his leadership, the world is a safer and more united place. Blessed are the peacemakers. God bless Israel, and God bless the United States of America."
