SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California Gov. Gavin Newsom is planning a one-day visit to Israel this week to meet people affected by that country's war with Hamas, stopping over en route to China where he will discuss policies to curb global warming.
“I’m on my way to Israel,” Newsom confirmed in a message posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I’ll be meeting with those impacted by the horrific terrorist attacks and offering California’s support.” On Wednesday, Newsom announced more security funding for places of worship in California, including $10 million to immediately increase the police presence at such places as mosques and synagogues.
California is home to the largest population of Arab Americans in the United States, according to the Arab American Institute. It also has the second largest populations of Jews in the U.S., according to the American Jewish Population Project at Brandeis University.
