Today, U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), alongside families of the hostages held by Iran-backed Hamas, demanded action to bring Americans home immediately and called for more of her colleagues in Congress to join her in putting pressure on Hamas.
Ernst recounted leading a recent bipartisan, bicameral delegation to four countries in the Middle East, where she met with leaders in the region to pressure Hamas, so Americans can return home and families can be reunited.
