Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN)
WASHINGTON – Sen. Tina Smith said the U.S. stands in solidarity with Israel, and she’s grateful President Biden traveled there earlier this week.
Smith said Biden, “has been working closely not only to say that we stand with Israel in this moment, but we also – as a country – very much want to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and also keep this conflict from spreading and getting even worse.” Smith said attacks on civilians, loss of life, and reports of hostage-taking are an outrage.
Meanwhile, members of Minnesota’s Jewish community who say they’re in solidarity with Palestine gathered outside the Minnesota DFL Party’s offices Friday calling for an immediate cease-fire. Anti-war groups rallied near Macalester College in Saint Paul, demanding an end to U.S. military aid to Israel.
