“My heart is full of hope for the relief that is about to arrive for hundreds of Israeli family members and the people of Israel, who have waited 15 months for this day. I am deeply grateful to President Biden and his administration for their tireless work to achieve an agreement to secure the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza after 467 days of unimaginable hardship. This deal is a defining moment for President Biden's legacy and history will remember his commitment to securing our ally Israel from Iran and its terrorist proxies, returning the hostages, and seeking a just and lasting peace for Israelis, Palestinians and their neighbors.

A crucial component of his legacy will be his efforts to free political prisoners, wrongfully detained Americans, and hostages abroad. I appreciate the Administration's consistent efforts to free more than 500 political prisoners wrongfully jailed and tortured by the Cuban Communist regime due to the July 11, 2021 pro-democracy protests and I am relieved that these individuals will be finally released.

“Super-sizing the reward that leads to Maduro’s conviction will reinforce the already-decisive actions taken by the Biden-Harris Administration to target the criminal enterprise behind Venezuela’s election theft and the violent repression of its people,” said Wasserman Schultz. “The Biden-Harris White House deftly marshaled swift international pressure onto the Maduro regime, expanded existing sanctions, and rallied global support around this reality: Edmundo González won in a landslide and the Venezuelan people deserve to have their votes counted and rights respected. As Vice President Harris laid out emphatically in a recent letter, the United States 'will remain steadfast with the Venezuelan people in their fight for freedom.' This magnified reward for Maduro’s arrest would amplify those efforts.” Read more »
Venezuelans courageously took to the ballot box to seek true, legitimate representation after a lost decade under Maduro. Despite violent repression, overwhelming majorities repudiated Maduro and chose President-elect Edmundo González. But this brutal regime refuses to face reality, despite clear evidence proving Maduro’s loss. The Biden-Harris Administration successfully forced Maduro to hold this election.

Now we must bring pressure to bear on Maduro and his cronies to respect the will of the Venezuelan people, or face the consequences. Read more »
