October 17, 2024
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) issued the following statement commenting on the apparent death of Hamas terrorist leader Yahya Sinwar:
“Yahya Sinwar was one of the world’s most wanted terrorists. He directed Hamas’ October 7th terror attack that murdered 1,195 innocent people – including 46 Americans. As head of Hamas’ secret police force, Sinwar was dubbed the ‘Butcher of Khan Younis’ for torturing and killing those who deviated from Hamas’ tyrannical codes. He also sacrificed countless Palestinian lives in pursuit of his desire to wipe Israel off the map. Today, Israel brought him to justice and the world is a safer place as a result.”
