I’ll be meeting with those impacted by the horrific terrorist attacks and offering California’s support.
Newsom met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog, ahead of his trip over to China to discuss policies to curb global warming.
"I thank you Governor of California [Gavin Newsom] for your solidarity visit to Israel today. We will never forget the true friends of the State of Israel – those who chose to stand with us in our difficult times," President Herzog said in Hebrew on X, formerly Twitter.
