Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday announced he's going to Israel, drawing praise from major Jewish community groups following the Hamas attack on that country two weeks ago.
He said he'll be meeting with those impacted by the "horrific terrorist attacks and offering California's support."
"He has been a staunch ally of the Jewish community and is supporting us through this difficult period," Gregory said. "The fact that he is willing to make this trip in wartime proves once again that he recognizes and values the U.S.-Israel relationship, as well as the Jewish community both here in the state of California and around the world.
In a statement, Council on American-Islamic Relations California CEO Hussam Ayloush said that he was glad for the extra security money.
