Statement from NYGOP Chair Ed Cox in Remembrance of the October 7 Attacks on Israel

 

"Today, we remember the tragic attacks on Israel that took place on October 7, 2023, a day of unspeakable violence that ignited a war for Israel’s very existence. The brutal assault on innocent civilians serves as a stark reminder of the existential threats Israel continues to face, as it stands as a beacon of democracy in a hostile region. We must ensure that Israel receives our full support as it defends itself from those who seek its destruction.

 

"As we honor the lives lost, we must also confront the rising tide of anti-Semitism that has infiltrated too many corners of our society — especially on our campuses and in our urban centers. These manifestations of hate are not only an assault on Jewish Americans but an affront to the values that unite us as a free and tolerant nation.

 

"The Republican Party stands resolutely with Israel and the Jewish people, as we always have. We are proud to be the party that champions Israel's right to defend itself and its citizens, and we remain committed to ensuring that our nation stands strong against any threat to our shared values of liberty and justice.

 

"In this moment of war and mourning, let us reaffirm our commitment to combatting anti-Semitism in all its forms, to supporting Israel’s right to exist in peace and security, and to fostering an unbreakable bond between our two nations."
