Assemblyman Chris Tague (R,C-Schoharie) extended his praise to President Donald J. Trump for his pivotal role in brokering the U.S.-mediated ceasefire in Gaza and the return of the final 20 living Israeli hostages after more than two years of captivity.

“This is a monumental victory for peace and humanity,” said Tague. “Under President Trump’s steady hand, we’ve witnessed the power of American leadership on the world stage. The release of these brave individuals who endured unimaginable horrors marks the end of a dark chapter and the emergence of new hope. This is what Peace through Strength looks like: a resolute commitment to our allies, relentless pressure on terrorists like Hamas and the common-sense diplomacy that only President Trump delivers.”
