English: November 14, 2023 -- Congressman Anthony D'Esposito (NY-04) joined over 290,000 fellow Americans at today's "March for Israel" rally in Washington, D.C. The rally, which was held at the National Mall adjacent to the Capitol Building, provided Americans from across the country an opportunity to demonstrate their support for Israel in their war against Hamas terrorists and condemn the recent rash of antisemitic activity that was unleashed after Hamas' October 7th slaughter of over 1,200 innocent civilians inside Israel.

"I was proud to stand alongside freedom loving Americans in the heart of our nation's capital to demonstrate our support for our Israeli allies as they fight to defeat the evil forces of the Hamas terror group. As the Middle East's lone democracy, Israel has long stood as a steadfast friend of the United States, and it is crucial that we now stand with our ally in their time of need. Today's attendees at the 'March for Israel' also sent a loud and clear message that antisemitism will never be tolerated here in the United States, and that the phrase 'never again' is more than just a slogan, but that it is our rallying cry," said D'Esposito.

"Congress has been working to assist our Israeli allies, and I am happy to say the House passed the Israel Supplemental Appropriations Act, which is legislation I co-sponsored that provides over $14 billion in critical aid to Israel during this difficult time," said D'Esposito.

Other officials from Nassau County in attendance at today's rally included Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and Nassau County Legislator Mazi Pilip.
