Florida politicians on both sides of the aisle are rallying in support of Israel.
Senator Lori Berman and Representative Katherine Waldron filed resolutions in their respective chambers to show that Florida stands in solidarity with Israel, the state’s closest foreign ally.
Fellow Democrat, Congresswoman Lois Frankel is hopeful to get a bipartisan resolution passed, that condemns the deadly attacks and affirm U.S. support for Israel.
Republican Congressman Brian Mast, a wounded war veteran who served alongside the Israel defense forces years ago, is working on passing his "Hamas International Financing Prevention Act" once again. He says the White House must track down those supporting Hamas financially.
While Mast says passing anything in Congress will be more difficult because there is no House Speaker, he says committee work continues. House members are expected to vote on a new Speaker Wednesday.
