Governor Hochul to Depart for Israel on Solidarity Mission

As the war in Israel intensifies, Governor Katy Hochul departed there for what she called a solidarity mission.

In a statement prior to her departure, the governor said: “During these difficult times, it’s more important than ever for New York to show up in support of Israel. 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 horrific Hamas attacks. New York will show the world that we stand with Israel—today, tomorrow, and forever.”

This comes after Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and other officials have already made their way to Israel, and met with diplomats there.
