“As we reflect on the horrific attacks against the Jewish people in Israel on October 7, 2023, and all that has transpired since, here in the United States, we honor the innocent lives lost, fight for the safe return of the hostages, including Americans and pray for an end to the conflict. This past year has been a sobering reminder of the devastating consequences of terrorism and the urgent need for firm action against those who incite and fund it. As we remember the victims and their loved ones, let us commit to serving humanity with unity, compassion and purpose and continue to be steadfast in our commitment as a nation to stand against terrorism in all its forms.”
