"Well, what we know is very good, Schumer began. We've always said we need to do three things. I've been pushing for them one, bring all the hostages home, and there are a lot of bodies there. We have two New Yorkers, [Omer] Neutra and Itay [Chen]. Who, we know they're dead, but their families are mourning for their bodies to be home. Jewish law requires a decent burial. So, we want the hostages dead and alive, all to be returned, number one."
"Number two, we certainly want a ceasefire. A long lasting, strong ceasefire. And third, we need to get aid to the Gazan people who are suffering so under a huge humanitarian crisis. So, these are the three things that must be done. This is a very, very good step strong step in that direction. But there's more to be done, and particularly more to be done to make sure first, we'll have to make sure all these promises are kept,"
A ceasefire deal exchanged 48 Israeli hostages—20 alive and 28 deceased—for 250 Palestinians. The exchange included the bodies of two New Yorkers, Omer Neutra and Itay Chen, with calls to return remains for proper burial under Jewish law. Three priorities were emphasized: return all hostages dead and alive; secure a long-lasting, strong ceasefire; and deliver humanitarian aid to Gazan civilians facing a severe crisis. Ensuring that all promises are honored was highlighted as an immediate need. A negotiated two-state solution, with a Palestinian state and a Jewish state living side-by-side, was identified as essential for durable Middle East peace.
