Gov.Ron DeSantis denounced the violence in Israel in the wake of the deadliest attack in the region in decades during a news conference Tuesday morning in Surfside where he also said he wants Florida to increase sanctions on Iran.
"What we witnessed this weekend was one of the worst terrorist attacks in the history of not just Israel but the modern world," DeSantis said in his speech at The Shul of Bal Harbour. "It's important that we say as Americans and as Floridians, we stand with the people of Israel and we stand with the state of Israel in this dark hour."
Israeli warplanes pounded downtown Gaza City, home to Hamas' centers of government, with relentless bombardments into early Tuesday, after Israel’s prime minister vowed retaliation against the Islamic militant group that would “reverberate for generations.”
