Today marks one year since the darkest day for Jews since the Holocaust. On this solemn anniversary, we pause to remember the innocent lives lost, the families shattered, and the deep wounds that still ache across the Jewish community and the world. We continue to stand with the people of Israel as they face ongoing threats to their security and existence.
We honor the memory of the victims and fervently hope for the safe return of all remaining hostages, whose absence weighs heavily on us. Their return is not only a humanitarian priority, but a profound hope shared by people of conscience everywhere.
In the face of such pain and tragedy, we reaffirm our commitment to justice, resilience, and the pursuit of lasting peace for all.
