BISMARCK, N.D. (KFGO/KVRR) – Gov. Doug Burgum has directed the North Dakota State Capitol to be lit in the colors of the Israeli flag through tonight.
Today marks the one-year anniversary of the attack on Israel by Hamas.
“North Dakota stands steadfast in our support of Israel and its people as they continue to fight a seven-front war to defend their homeland against brutal attacks by Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism,” Burgum said in a statement.
“As we light the Capitol in blue and white in a show of solidarity with our democratic ally, we pray for the return of Israeli hostages and an end to this war that will allow all Israelis and Palestinians to finally live in peace.”
Burgum proclaimed last October 23-28 as a Week of Prayer in Support of Israel.
The North Dakota Legislature passed a resolution with similar language at the same time.
