Beth Callahan Editor

LEBANON, OH -- On Sunday, February 18, Landsman will join Democratic House members on a trip to the Middle East for strategic discussions on the Israel-Hamas war, humanitarian efforts, and post-conflict work to ensure a sustainable peace in the region. Members will conduct oversight and fact finding into military and diplomatic efforts related to the conflict, as well as the strategies to counteract Iranian influence in the region.

During the visit, Landsman will meet with key Egyptian and Israeli leaders, focusing on three objectives:

Bringing the conflict to an end
Strategies to resolve the humanitarian crisis
Steps toward achieving sustainable peace and a two-state solution

Congressman Landsman:

“In a few days, I will be heading to Egypt and Israel. We have Americans being held hostage, local families trying to get loved ones out of Gaza, and we need this war to end. On this trip, I will advocate with key leaders on getting loved ones to safety, ending this war, fully tackling the humanitarian crisis, and ensuring that any and all post-conflict work leads to a sustainable peace and two-state solution.”
