BOYLE STATEMENT ON CEASEFIRE IN ISRAEL

May 20, 2021

WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02) released the following statement about the announced ceasefire in Israel:

"I applaud the announcement of a cessation of hostilities between Israel and the Palestinians. Innocent lives, both Israeli and Palestinian, have been lost and families shattered as a result of this terrible cycle of violence."

"We have been stuck in a cul-de-sac for 21 years, since the failed Camp David summit and subsequent intifada. I urge the parties negotiating this ceasefire to finally find a genuine path toward negotiating a long-term political solution, which in my view is a two-state solution, with both nations recognizing each other's innate rights."
