Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick's Statement on the Ceasefire Deal Between Israel and Hezbollah

Tamarac, FL – Today, Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick issued the following statement on the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah.  

“I welcome the news of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah, and I am grateful for the leadership of the Biden Administration in reaching this historic milestone. For over a year, Hezbollah, a proxy of Iran, has attacked Israel with thousands of rockets and drones. This agreement will hopefully allow thousands of displaced civilians to return home, end Hezbollah’s attacks against Israel, and finally ensure Hezbollah’s compliance with Security Council Resolution 1701.  

For a more lasting peace in the Middle East, the United States must continue to stand with Israel, certify Hezbollah’s compliance with this deal, and facilitate the return of the 101 hostages held in Gaza.”
