New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says she will arrive in Israel today for a “solidarity mission.”
She says she plans to meet with diplomatic leaders and communities devastated after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas terror attack on southern Israel.
“During these difficult times, it’s more important than ever for New York to show up in support of Israel,” Hochul says.
New York has the largest percentage of Jews among all the US states, according to the American Jewish Population Project at Brandeis University.
