Schumer vows commitment to 'deliver everything Israel requires in this time'
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Saturday spoke with top officials from the Central Intelligence Agency and the State Department during a briefing on the situation in Israel.
Schumer's office released a statement, stating, "The enormous loss of life is gut-wrenching, and I am appalled at the viciousness of the attack by Hamas on innocent Israeli civilians. I expressed my commitment to top Biden Administration officials – and directly to Ambassador Herzog – to do all I can to deliver everything Israel requires in this time of urgent need. I will continue to receive regular briefings."
Schumer is currently overseas in China on a Congressional trip.
The statement continued, "This is one of the worst attacks Israel has ever experienced, and friends of Israel in the US and around the world must stand strongly by her. My heart goes out to those that lost loved ones."
