Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) led a bipartisan group of lawmakers on Tuesday to introduce legislation honoring victims and hostages of Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel, seizing on the two-year mark to rally support for a ceasefire deal that could finally end the war and bring the remaining captives home.

The attack, which killed roughly 1,200 people and triggered the ongoing war in Gaza, continues to reverberate, with 48 hostages, including two Americans, still held captive.
