Gov. Andrew Cuomo will lead a delegation of state officials and business leaders to Israel as a show of solidarity this week.
Cuomos office announced the two-day trip Sunday night, his first international trip since taking office as governor in 2011, with plans take a commercial flight to Tel Aviv Tuesday evening.
Friends stand together in times of crisis, and I am proud to lead this bipartisan delegation to Israel to reaffirm our friendship and support, Cuomo said in a statement. New York has always had a special relationship with Israel. As Hamas and other terrorist organizations continue to threaten Israel, now is the time to deliver that message of solidarity in person.

Oh, maybe this business....
"Also included on the trip is Cuomos brother-in-law, fashion designer Kenneth Cole, as well as real-estate magnate and Daily News publisher Mortimer Zuckerman. Howard Maier, the chairman emeritus of the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County will also be in the New York delegation."
Are they not terrified of the Hamas rockets? Good to bring the media with you in your pocket....this is terrifying corruption.
