California Gov. Gavin Newsom landed in Israel early Friday morning, where he met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog and spoke with Californians who were wounded in the Israel-Hamas war.
"I thank you Governor of California for your solidarity visit to Israel today. We will never forget the true friends of the State of Israel – those who chose to stand with us in our difficult times," Herzog posted in Hebrew on X, formerly Twitter.
The governor said California will be sending medical supplies to the region to aid in relief efforts. President Joe Biden will deliver only the second Oval Office address of his term on Thursday night to make the case for U.S. backing of Ukraine and Israel in a time of war. Newsom's trip to Israel is a bit of a last minute stop, he originally had plans to visit China where he would hold talks with communist leaders on climate change.
"Hamas and Putin represent different threats," Biden said. "But they share this in common: They both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy."
