NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Today, U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) released the following statement after President Trump delivered remarks in Israel and the last surviving Israeli hostages were reunited with their loved ones:

“President Trump is the peace president. Once again, he defied every expectation by delivering a breakthrough for peace in the Middle East,” said Senator Blackburn. “The release of the remaining 20 Israeli hostages who have endured unimaginable terror is a blessing for the world and a profound relief to their families. This was only accomplished because of the tireless and fearless work of President Trump, Secretary Rubio, and Envoy Witkoff. Today marks the beginning of a new era of hope for lasting peace in the Middle East. May God continue to bless America and guide us forward with wisdom and courage.”
