LINCOLN- On Tuesday, Sen. Brad von Gillern released a statement signed by thirty-eight of Nebraska's 49 state senators condemning Hamas for its "brutal, highly organized, and unprecedented attack upon Israel." Von Gillern said that he and the signers felt it was "important to speak out against the atrocities happening against the Israeli people and let Nebraskans know that their elected officials stand with those defending innocent life."

Hamas, the resolution asserts, was founded with the goal of destroying the state of Israel, and the October 7th attacks were done in such a manner that would "maximize civilian casualties." The resolution also states that senators "express their support for Israel's right to pursue without interference or condemnation the elimination of Hamas until Hamas is permanently neutralized..."

Finally, the statement also urged the United States to provide "all assistance as may be required" for Israel to defend against Hamas and other terrorist groups. The resolution garnered generally bipartisan support, with both Democratic and Republican signees.
