Durbin Statement on the Situation in Gaza

Wednesday, December 31, 2008

[WASHINGTON, D.C.] - U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) released the following statement today, on the deteriorating situation in Gaza.

"I understand and support Israel's defense of its borders from rocket attacks by Hamas.

This defense has led to an escalation of violence and more death and suffering by innocent people on both sides. This crisis can only end with a ceasefire and honest negotiations for peace.

The Palestinian people deserve leadership that is committed to bringing an end to this violence."
