Casten Statement on Netanyahu’s Plan to Occupy Gaza

Washington, D.C. — U.S. Congressman Sean Casten (IL-06) released the following statement regarding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to occupy Gaza:

“I strongly oppose Prime Minister Netanyahu’s plan to fully occupy Gaza. This would only deepen the already catastrophic humanitarian crisis within the Gaza Strip and recklessly endanger the lives of the remaining Israeli hostages held by Hamas. A full military occupation is not a strategy for peace or security—it is a path to further bloodshed and suffering for innocent Palestinian civilians. I will continue to push for a ceasefire that includes an end to the war and the release of all hostages.”
