The state of Florida has a large Jewish population and Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order to help state residents who are in Israel get home.
A news release from DeSantis’ communications director noted, “There are more than 20,000 Americans, including Floridians, in Israel who wish to return home but are unable to do so.”
The executive order lets the state “carry out logistical, rescue and evacuation operations to keep its residents safe,” by enabling “the Florida Division of Emergency Management to bring Floridians home and transport necessary supplies to Israel.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said additional flights will be departing in the coming days and the State Department will organize flights "for as long as there is a demand from US citizens for departure assistance." Also, Florida’s chief financial officer announced the state will invest $25 million in bonds to help Israel pay for the war.His office said, “Since 2017, Florida has purchased $190 million in Israel Bonds, which have generated about $6.4 million in interest.”That brings the total amount of new investment since last weekend's Hamas terrorist attacks to $200 million, and Israel Bonds says "$150 million came from US states local governments.
