New York State landmarks are illuminated orange in honor of Ariel and Kfir Bibas, New York Governor Kathy Hochul says.
“Our hearts are broken as we mourn Ariel and Kfir Bibas, who were brutally murdered by Hamas in an act of callous and unthinkable cruelty,” Hochul says in a statement. “I join the millions around the world honoring their memory and demanding that Hamas immediately return the remains of Shiri Bibas home to Israel.”
Fourteen state landmarks will be illuminated tonight, including One World Trade Center, Niagara Falls, the Empire State Plaza in Albany, Moynihan Train Hall in New York City, and several bridges.
