Tell your Members of Congress: Bring the Hostages Home Now

On October 7, when Hamas terrorists stormed Israel and killed 1,200 people, they took 240 hostages and are holding them in Gaza, including Americans. This is an unspeakable act of terror against innocent men, women, children, and the elderly. Jewish Democratic Council of America is deeply concerned about the safety of the hostages and demands, in the most urgent terms, their immediate release.

Congress must do everything it can to free the hostages. We must urge our representatives to support efforts by Israel to recover the hostages and efforts to negotiate their release.

This is why we are calling on members of Congress to pass H.Res.793, which calls on Hamas to immediately release all hostages taken during the October 7 attack on Israel. The resolution, led by Rep. Haley Stevens:

  • Condemns Hamas for its brutal attack on Israel;
  • Condemns Hamas for the taking of hostages;
  • Condemns Hamas for threats made against hostages;
  • Demands that Hamas immediately release all hostages and return them to safety;
  • Recognizes that the taking of hostages is a violation of international humanitarian law; and
  • Expresses sympathy to the hostages, wounded, deceased, and their families for this travesty to justice and personal hardship.

President Biden is doing all he can to secure their release and he needs support from Congress. Write to your member of Congress to urge the immediate release of the hostages and the swift passage of H.Res.793. Bring them home now.
