Gillibrand Statement On The Second Anniversary Of The October 7 Attack On Israel
Oct 7, 2025
Today, on the second anniversary of the October 7 attack on Israel, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand issued the following statement:
"Today marks two years since Hamas carried out a senseless act of terror, brutally killing 1,200 innocent people, including dozens of our fellow Americans and several New Yorkers. In the single deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust, we remember the mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, neighbors and friends who were murdered. May their memories be a blessing.
We also cannot forget the approximately 48 hostages still being held by Hamas. Their absence is a daily source of pain and fear for their families and communities, and while the situation remains extremely difficult, we must continue working to bring them home as swiftly as possible. I pledge that I will not rest until they're back home."
