Gov. Kathy Hochul plans trip to Israel for 'solidarity mission'
Gov. Kathy Hochul said she plans on traveling to Israel Tuesday for what she called a "solidarity mission" as the Israel-Hamas war intensifies.
In a statement, the governor said she will be meeting with community leaders after Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, with Israeli officials quickly declaring war and launching a series of aggressive counterattacks. “During these difficult times, it’s more important than ever for New York to show up in support of Israel," Hochul said on Monday. "Tomorrow I’ll be traveling to Israel for a solidarity mission where I plan to meet with diplomatic leaders and communities who have been devastated by the horrific Hamas attacks. New York will show the world that we stand with Israel – today, tomorrow and forever.
Before departing, the governor will also meet with White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients to discuss immigration and the United States' support for Israel, Hochul's office said Monday.Mayor Adams confirms migrant families with children must move out of shelter after 60 daysFort Greene Park warns tiny containers littered on ground may contain fentanylGothamist is a website about New York City news, arts, events and food, brought to you by New York Public Radio.
