I also read the proposed resolution. I'd like to bring up a few concerns to your attention: <br />1. The Requested Item Report provides a few statistics, however, I think you missed a few. I think it is warranted to provide the <br />number of hostages taken on October 7th. Since you parse out how many Palestinian children have died in Gaza, will you <br />please provide the number of children who were brutally murdered on October 7th? Additionally, please include the number of <br />children that were taken hostage on October 7th. Will you also include the number of children that are still being held hostage in <br />Gaza? How many total people are still hostages? This will provide clarity about why Israel is trying to eradicate Hamas and save <br />hostage lives, two of which were rescued a few days ago. <br />Since you are keen on identifying how long Gaza has been under siege (121 days), will you please provide the number of days <br />the Israelis have been hostages. I think it's approaching 140 days. I'll let you do the research. <br />3 <br />
