President Donald J. Trump has assured the families of the hostages being held by Hamas that he is resolved to bring their loved ones home and destroy the terrorist group.
On Tuesday, the two-year anniversary of October 7, 2023, Trump sent a letter to the Hostage and Missing Families Forum.
“These unspeakable scenes have been seared into our memories, and we will never forget,” Trump wrote in the letter.
The president added that his administration has been touched by the group’s advocacy as they deal with unimaginable pain and suffering of not knowing where their loved ones are.
Trump also thanked the group for nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize, adding that he remains committed to ending the conflict and waves of anti-Semitism at home and abroad.
“May god bless you and your loved ones, and may He continue to bless the United States of America and the State of Israel, as we pray that this conflict will be at an end in the coming days — or else,” he concluded.
