The six Republicans in Iowa’s congressional delegation are calling President Trump a peacemaker. Trump says Israeli hostages in Gaza will be released early next week in phase one of a ceasefire deal to stop the fighting between Israel and Hamas. Senator Joni Ernst says the living nightmare the hostages have been forced to endure will end, and two American hostages who’ve died can be laid to rest.
In an interview with Sioux County Radio, Congressman Randy Feenstra, who represents Iowa’s fourth district, says Trump is an incredible leader for our country and the free world.
Feenstra, a Republican from Hull, has made several trips to Israel, including a trip after Hamas militants swarmed through Israeli towns on October 7th and killed 1,200 people.
Senator Chuck Grassley said he supports an outcome that ensures the “forever survival of Israel.” Congresswoman Ashley Hinson called Trump the ‘Peacemaker-in-Chief,’ while Congressman Zach Nunn said the deal is “a historic win for Israel’s security, American leadership, and long-term stability in the Middle East.”
Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks added that Trump is “the peace president who did what many thought was impossible.”
