My statement on the ceasefire in the Middle East.

Statement from Vice President Kamala Harris
October 13, 2025

I am thankful and deeply encouraged that this ceasefire has brought long-awaited moments of joy and reunion — as 20 Israeli hostages are finally reunited with their loved ones and Palestinian families and the people of Gaza begin to receive desperately needed relief from unimaginable suffering.

Through diplomacy and persistence, today is an important first step toward a more hopeful future. I commend the leaders and partners whose efforts made this agreement possible, including the President and his team.

There is still much more work to do to secure a lasting peace, ensure the safety and dignity of every innocent life, and build a future where Israelis and Palestinians can live side by side in freedom and security.

Ugh, New Hampshire. 😒 Believe me, I’m not surprised. I live in Massachusetts, 20 minutes from NH, but it’s tough to see it in a pic. It’s like a different world up there. I avoid it unless absolutely necessary.

I’m completely unsurprised by NH here. 👇 You have no idea how odd it is to be in Massachusetts and driving 20 minutes north to NH and it’s like a different world up there.

Which is, of course, why ICE is trying to deputize local police to do their work for them: the notorious 287(g) agreements.

But if you have a good sense of what US pop density looks like, you'll see that outside of FL, LOTS of ppl live in green (terminated) or blank (never had a deal) areas.

Map of 287g agreements. Red and orange are hard to tell apart, and not a fan of circle size to distinguish things here, but it gets the point across. Source: https://www.ilrc.org/practitioners/national-map-287g-agreements

I am deeply grateful and relieved that this day has come - for the last living 20 hostages who have been through unimaginable hell and are finally reunited with their families and loved ones, and for the civilians in Gaza who have experienced immeasurable loss and will finally get the chance to rebuild their lives.

The road to this deal was not easy. My Administration worked relentlessly to bring hostages home, get relief to Palestinian civilians, and end the war. I commend President Trump and his team for their work to get a renewed ceasefire deal over the finish line.

Now, with the backing of the United States and the world, the Middle East is on a path to peace that I hope endures and a future for Israelis and Palestinians alike with equal measures of peace, dignity, and safety.

Also, this 👇 has been totally forgotten by 95% of people. It started being negotiated within days of October 7th. Hamas could have released all the hostages then and ended it. The Biden Administration didn’t expect nor get lavish praise over it either. bsky.app/profile/maud...

The Biden Administration got a ceasefire deal done within 5 weeks of October 7th that led to the release of 105 hostages 👇, but everyone ignores that. That ceasefire hostage release was the largest hostage release of the entire conflict. 👇

Well, that was fun. Now I have to catch up with what was happening in the world while I was out of it for 8+ hours. I’m epileptic and although I haven’t had a grand mal in a long time I do occasionally have mini epileptic episodes. Had one after dinner and am just now somewhat functional. 😩

Also a reminder that this 👇 started being negotiated within days of October 7th. Hamas could have released all the hostages then and ended it all. Instead it took them 2 years of devastating destruction and death to release them all. bsky.app/profile/maud...

He hasn’t been taking care of himself long before his stroke. His own doctor said it in the letter he released after his stroke in 2022. 👇
He was diagnosed with very serious heart issues in 2017 and never returned for follow up care and stopped take the prescribed meds.

My favorite new show last season 👇 had bloopers at the end and they cancelled the show after only one season. I’m still pissed about it. 🤬

It was a great show.

Maudi63 @maudi63.bsky.social · 14h

Republicans are talking way too much about it trying to bring people’s attention to it to not have something planned to cause trouble at them. I hope the real protesters realize this and keep their wits about them and keep their focus on their mission.

Iair Horn fought nonstop for his brother Eitan ever since he was himself freed from Hamas captivity in a previous deal.

What an incredible sight to see these brothers reunited at last.
