SCHNEIDER STATEMENT ON ISRAEL OPENING NEW HUMANITARIAN CORRIDORS IN GAZA

LINCOLNSHIRE, IL – Rep. Brad Schneider (IL-10), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and co-founder and co-chair of the Congressional Abraham Accords Caucus, released the following statement in response to Israel’s opening of new humanitarian corridors in Gaza: 

“I’m glad Israel is expanding its approach and opening new humanitarian corridors, conducting airdrops, and taking other crucial steps to ensure needed food makes it to civilians in Gaza. 

“It’s equally important that the United Nations and affiliated organizations do their part, working together with Israel to ensure aid is delivered to those who need it as swiftly and efficiently as possible, while also minimizing diversion of aid by Hamas. 

“This war began because Iran-backed Hamas murdered 1200 people and took hundreds of hostages on October 7, 2023. This would be over tomorrow if Hamas released the remaining hostages and laid down its arms. Israel beat Hezbollah and Iran and must defeat Hamas too.”
