Today, Congressman Mike Lawler issued the following statement after confirmation that the head of Hamas and architect of the October 7th terrorist attack against Israel was killed by Israeli forces.

"Good riddance to the vile head of Hamas and the architect of its barbaric October 7th terrorist attack against Israel- the worst mass murder of Jews in a single day since the Holocaust. Yahya Sinwar has finally gotten his comeuppance and the Middle East is one step closer to peace with this monster gone," said Congressman Lawler.

Congressman Lawler is one of the most bipartisan members of the 118th Congress and represents New York's 17th Congressional District, which is just north of New York City and contains all or parts of Rockland, Putnam, Dutchess, and Westchester Counties.
