Congress
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will lead a bipartisan trip to Israel this weekend in the aftermath of last week’s attacks that killed hundreds, his office announced.
“Leader Schumer will meet with the new unity government including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz, as well as President Isaac Herzog,” the statement read.
In addition, Schumer plans to outline “what resources the United States can provide to support Israel on all fronts,” the statement said, even amid the ongoing House speaker paralysis.
He won’t be the first: Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and several House members were in the country earlier this week. Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) has been working to evacuate dozens of stranded Americans.
A bipartisan group of House lawmakers led a vigil at the Capitol last night to mourn the more than 1,000 killed in the attacks.
