Today marks two years since the heinous terror attacks by Hamas against Israel.

My thoughts are with the hostages remaining in Gaza, who must be released immediately. I think also of all those who lost loved ones, including the family of Kim Damti.

This war needs to end. The appalling slaughter and famine in Gaza needs to end.
