Florida Lawmakers Come Together to Show Solidarity with Israel

Speaker Paul Renner and Senate President Kathleen Passidomo called a press conference on Wednesday, inviting legislators from both sides of the aisle to express their support for Israel after the attack it endured over a week ago.

The details of the press conference were kept under wraps for obvious security reasons.

Rep. Fine, who has been the loudest voice of support for Israel, and who has admonished pro-Hamas supporters and national legislators, was surrounded by a security detail he normally doesn't receive.

Rep. Fine and Senator Lauren Book, both Jewish-Americans, gave strong and passionate addresses.

Squeezers

Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost-The people of Central Florida are watching $11.3 million in community funding projects slip out of our grasp because House Republicans canā€™t get their act together. Every minute we waste on Republican dysfunction is a minute gone by without offering real solutions to the problems we're facing in Florida.

Senator Marco Rubio-Requesting unanimous consent for the Senate to pass my resolution and make clear the Biden Administration needs to enforce existing law by revoking visas of terrorist sympathizers.

Foreign nationals who support Hamas shouldn't be allowed to retain their visas

Lauren Book-As Floridaā€™s Senate Democratic Leader and one of only 3 Jewish members of the Florida Senate, I was proud to stand alongside legislative leaders from both chambers to proclaim our unwavering, bipartisan support for Israel.

In times of war, our shared Jewish values of love, and peace, and care for others is our strength. As such, I support global calls for innocent civilian lives to be spared, while condemning antisemitism, Islamophobia, and hate of all kinds.

Hamas terrorists will not win, because we will not let them.

Yesterday, today, and for all time, we stand with Israel.

Am Yisrael chai.
