Washington, D.C. – Congressman Mark Alford (MO-04) issued the following statement regarding the elimination of Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind behind the October 7th massacre, by the Israeli military:

“Justice has been served by the brave men and women of the Israeli military. Yahya Sinwar, the orchestrator of the horrific October 7th massacre, has been eliminated. His life was driven by hatred for Israel and for freedom. His death marks a significant step toward peace and security for the Israeli people.

Let this serve as a clear message to Hamas and its supporters: Israel will never back down. The strength and resilience of the Jewish people, and their unwavering fight for freedom and security, cannot be broken. Terror and antisemitism will never overcome the spirit of liberty.

However, Israel's struggle is far from over. They continue to face grave threats from Iran and its proxies, from Hamas, and from Hezbollah. Meanwhile, the weak and feckless response from the Harris-Biden administration only worsens these threats.

The future of Israel depends on unwavering U.S. support. We must ensure that the bond between the U.S. and Israel remains ironclad, standing together in the fight against those who seek to destroy freedom and democracy."
