Chuck Schumer leading Senate trip to Israel in aftermath of Hamas rampage

WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will lead fellow senators on a weekend trip to Israel to show support for the country’s government following the massacre of more than 1,300 people by Hamas terrorists last week.

A delegation of New York Democrats followed a visit by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin as the Israel Defense Forces warned Gazans to evacuate the northern part of the territory controlled by Hamas.

“Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the highest elected Jewish official in the history of the United States, will lead the two parties [congressional delegation] to Israel this weekend to demonstrate the unwavering support of the United States for Israel,” Schumer spokesman Angelo Roefaro said.

“There, Leader Schumer will meet with the new unity government including Prime Ministers Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz, as well as President Isaac Herzog. Sen. Schumer will discuss the resources the United States can provide to support Israel in all areas.”
