Hmmm
This week, I paid my respects at several sites in Israel where Hamas terrorists carried out their horrific attacks on October 7, 2023, including the Nova Music Festival where they killed numerous innocent young men and women and took others captive. 600 days since this horrific attack, hostages are still in captivity under brutal conditions. We will not stop until all hostages are released by Hamas.

While in Israel, I met with my very good friend @yairlapid and discussed how we can maintain a strong relationship between the U.S. and Israel, promote stability in the Middle East, and counter antisemitism around the world.

Antisemitism has no place in America. Grateful to @POTUS and @EDSecMcMahon for taking strong action to protect Jewish students on campuses from coast to coast.
