Rep. Nick Langworthy, R-New York, is sending his condolences after Hamas revealed it was turning over the bodies of a mother and two young children that the terror group killed.
Langworthy visited Israel shortly after the October 7 attacks. He sent his reactions to the deaths of the hostages.
A look at the hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza, by the numbers
“I am utterly devastated to hear that Israeli hostages Shiri Bibas, her two beautiful sons Ariel and Kfir, and Oded Lifshitz were senselessly murdered by the depraved, evil forces of Hamas. The savage murder of these innocent lives and children should shock the conscience of the world.”
“Shortly after the attacks, I had the somber privilege of traveling to Israel and visiting Kibbutz Nir Oz. a place forever marked by the horrors inflicted on its people. I stood in the Bibas home and mourned with a community ravaged by inconceivable brutality.”
Israel prepares for hostages’ return with scant knowledge of their condition
“This heartbreaking news must only strengthen our resolve to eradicate Hamas from the face of the Earth. We mourn with the victims’ families and all of Israel, and pledge to honor the memory of all the hostages whose lives were stolen far too soon.”
