US President Donald Trump wrote to the Hostages and Missing Families Forum on the two-year anniversary of the October 7 Massacre that his administration would never forget the events of the Black Sabbath.
"My entire administration has been touched by the fact that, through the unimaginable pain and suffering of spending two years not knowing where your loved ones are, you have continued telling their stories and advocating on their behalf," Trump wrote in his letter.
"Since the abhorrent events of October 7, 2023, that saw families ripped apart, children torn from their parents' arms, and innocent people shot, killed, and raped, I have been resolved to returning all the hostages home, and ensuring the total destruction of Hamas so these horrific acts may never be repeated," he added.
Trump wrote that his administration was "steadfastly committed to seeing an end both to this conflict and the
waves of antisemitism, both at home and abroad."
"As President, I remain steadfastly committed to, and will work tirelessly towards, restoring a foreign policy of peace through strength, ending the years of endless wars, not just in the Middle East, but around the world. We envision a time when, one day, the terror and bloodshed will end, including in nations that have been torn by
decades, if not centuries, of strife," he added.
Trump thanks hostage families for Nobel Peace Prize nomination
Trump also sent his "sincerest thanks" to the forum for its nomination to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee.
He finished the letter by sending a blessing to the families and to the State of Israel, adding that he prayed "that this conflict will be at an end in the coming days— or else."
