Statement from Joel Bruckman, President of the Decalogue Society of Lawyers
The announcement of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas and the release of hostages who have endured unimaginable suffering since October 7, 2023, is a moment of profound significance. While we welcome this development, our hearts remain heavy, as too many families are still waiting for their loved ones to return, and the scars of this brutal conflict run deep.
The Decalogue Society of Lawyers stands in solidarity with all those impacted by this conflict. We remain committed to advocating for justice, the safe return of every hostage, and the recovery of the bodies of those who tragically lost their lives. We also call on the global community to support efforts for lasting peace and security for Israel and all those affected by Hamas’s heinous acts of terror.
In this moment of hope, we must continue our resolve to seek accountability and work toward a future where no family endures such pain. May those still waiting for the return of their loved ones find strength, and may peace and justice prevail.
