Bipartisan US Senate delegation calls President Herzog, assures support for Israel
A bipartisan delegation of U.S. senators called Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Tuesday to assure him of their firm stand and support for Israel, according to Herzog’s office.
The delegation, which called the Israeli president from China while on a diplomatic visit, is being led by House Majority leader Chuck Schumer and includes senators Mike Crapo, Bill Cassidy, John Kennedy, Maggie Hassan and Jon Ossoff.
The delegation relayed their outrage and condemnation of the “horrific attack” by Hamas on the citizens of Israel and their condolences for the loss of life.
The senators reiterated their support for Israel’s right to defend itself and its people, reassuring Herzog of America's willingness to provide aid to Israel and noting that they would work in the Senate to approve any request.
