Bilirakis Applauds Historic Breakthrough for Peace in the Middle East

Congressman Gus Bilirakis, Co-Chair of the Congressional Hellenic Israel Alliance and the International Religious Freedom Caucus, released the following statement today in response to the historic peace agreement reached in the Middle East:

“I wholeheartedly applaud this landmark agreement, which represents a major step forward for peace, security, and religious freedom in the region. This achievement would not have been possible without the strong leadership of President Trump along with the dedicated diplomacy of Secretary of State Rubio. Their tireless efforts brought both sides to the table and helped deliver a breakthrough that many thought impossible.  The return of hostages to their families is especially moving and long overdue—a powerful reminder of what is at stake and what can be achieved through determined engagement.  My hope and prayer is that this agreement marks a true turning point, one that reaffirms the value of American leadership on the global stage and sets the foundation for a more stable and peaceful future. I remain committed to working with our allies to ensure the successful implementation of this accord and to advance the broader vision of lasting peace and mutual respect it represents.”
