Statement from Assemblywoman Amy Paulin on the Return of the Last Israeli Hostage in Gaza

The body of Ran Gvili, the last Israeli hostage in Gaza, has been found and returned to Israel. At last, his loved ones can give him the burial he deserves. More than two years after the horrors of October 7th, a day that will forever be seared into our collective memory, the last hostage has come home. May we carry forward the weight of what has been lost and ensure their memory becomes a call for a world that chooses life over violence.
