Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and a bipartisan delegation of his colleagues were rushed to a bomb shelter in Tel Aviv, Israel, on Sunday after rockets were launched by Hamas.
Schumer and the group, which includes Sens. Mitt Romney , Bill Cassidy , Mark Kelly , and Jacky Rosen , were set to deliver a press conference when air-raid sirens went off as incoming rockets targeted the city. The lawmakers were sent to a shelter to wait out the attack, delaying the press conference for a few minutes.“While in Tel Aviv today, our delegation was rushed to a shelter to wait out rockets sent by Hamas,” Schumer wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
While in Tel Aviv today, our delegation was rushed to a shelter to wait out rockets sent by Hamas. It shows you what Israelis have to go through. We must provide Israel with the support required to defend itself. pic.twitter.com/wS3kq6xFVJSchumer made note of the experience once the briefing began, telling reporters that the delegation"experienced what Israelis experience almost every day. We were having lunch up in the hotel, and the sirens went off.
The United States also sent Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Tel Aviv this past week and announced plans to send two aircraft carrier strike groups to the region. The USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group arrived in the eastern Mediterranean Sea on Tuesday, while the USS Eisenhower carrier strike group was deployed to the area on Saturday.
