New York governor announces Israel visit
Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a written statement Monday evening that she will travel to Israel on Tuesday for a “solidarity mission.”
She said she plans to meet with diplomatic leaders and communities devastated after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas militants on Israeli towns.
“During these difficult times, it’s more important than ever for New York to show up in support of Israel,” Hochul said.
New York has the largest percentage of Jews among all the U.S. states, according to the American Jewish Population Project at Brandeis University.

She needs to stay "home" and attend to the people of New York's business here.
