Statement from Representative Adriano Espaillat on Developing Situation in Israel

“My office has been in constant communication with the group of 10 of my constituents who remain in Israel and who are sheltering at the Tel Aviv airport.

My team has been working diligently to get these individuals out, and through our efforts, we have been successful in assisting with the departures of a few members of the group. For the remaining 10 constituents who are still there, their flights have been confirmed to depart within the next few hours, and we are closely monitoring the situation to make sure there are no changes to the flight schedule.

There is an immediate urgency and need for them to depart as soon as possible to ensure their safe return.”
