Chuck Schumer says the delegation he's leading was rushed to a shelter amid rocket fire in Israel
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has landed in Tel Aviv to lead a congressional delegation to Israel amid the war following Hamas' terrorist attack.
Several members of Congress happened to be in Israel when the attack took place, including Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y. They have both returned to the U.S. safely.
A congressional delegation also visited Israel last week. It included Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, and Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., Jimmy Panetta, D-Calif., and Donald Norcross, D-N.J. They met with senior Israeli government officials during the trip.
Schumer has been briefed by leaders at the State and Defense departments and he has also been involved in efforts to facilitate travel for Americans who want to leave Israel.
Let this sink in. . .
in New York City on Friday, Schumer said that the purpose of the trip is threefold: to send a clear message that the U.S. stands with Israel, to meet with Israeli leaders and discuss the resources and support the nation's needs, and to show that support for Israel is bipartisan.
Except of course, the Palestinian Liberation Squad from his Democrat Party!
"We’re gonna get Israel everything it needs — Iron Dome, all the other needs, both military and humanitarian. And we’re going to do everything we can and I’m going to urge everyone, everyone in the American government to bring back the hostages, particularly our American hostages," he said.
Schumer better make sure that happens, or he will probably be euthanized by the Jewish American Medical School.
