TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida sent 85 pallets worth of cargo to Israel on two successful plane launches under an emergency executive order from Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Departing Tuesday, DeSantis’ office said the planes will reach Israel Wednesday. The planes are carrying medical supplies, clothing, hygiene products and toys.
“With the lack of leadership in Washington, we are stepping up to help our allies in Israel who are in need of supplies and our support,” DeSantis said. “As we continue to bring back Americans who were stranded in Israel when the war began, we will also keep sending the necessary health care supplies for Israel to care for those who have been injured.”
IV kits, hospital gowns, bandages, needles, syringes, ventilators and surgical gloves are among the tens of thousands of items being sent. Supplies also include thousands of: children’s toys, sleeping bags, hygiene products and clothes.
DeSantis’ order activated multiple state agencies, including the Florida Division of Emergency Management, to help respond to the crisis in Israel by rescuing Americans.
“Thanks to the decisive action of Governor DeSantis, the Division was able to quickly coordinate with our Israeli partners and compile needed supplies,” said Kevin Guthrie, Division of Emergency Management executive director. “After working with the Israeli Consulate, medical partners and hospitals in Israel, the Division identified what items were most in need to reduce inundation and increase efficiency.”
The launch comes after the first round of Americans rescued by Florida-chartered flights arrived earlier this week, carrying nearly 300.

Honestly, you are a terrible ambassador for Donald Trump. When I encounter you and the others around here who are hell-bent to ridicule and mock Governor DeSantis, just like your idol DJT does the same, I am reminded why I gave up on Trump.
? You expect Biden to do something?
“Tell me Johnny, are you saying the U.S. did not want Israel as part of the coalition, because we were afraid it would make the Muslims/Arabs mad and hate the Jews?”
Yes, he is exactly right. We purposely asked Israel to stand down in order not to inflame the Arab streets. Google it.
Israel didn’t want to offend the Arabs in an effort to avoid making them angry and want to kill the Jews. Got it.
Odd how all these fine folks wasted their time detailing exactly what happened for your benefit and you chose to ignore it.
sorry meant to add ofc-diversion and evasion are tools of deceit.
The Iraq war was B. S. / what a terrible comparison ....this crap has been a failsafe since the 70’s.....palestinians are fodder to the middle eastern muzzies...no bordering country will allow them entry?.....wonder why? Only money they can earn is to kill Jews and martyrdom ....pay to slay...does not affect me at all I am an American of Irish/Danish decent....I have no problem killing...but leave the brewmaster’s alone or we may have issues!
Exactly! All election year stunt with other peoples money...”EXECUTIVE ORDER” means = no voting just as fed is doing. FK that.
Yep. I remember that.
Because then it becomes a religious war, however else it started, and something like what we saa in Israel ten days ago might have happened back then. With an Israeli army deployed in Iraq as part of the coalition, any attacks at home would have led to calls for the army to return to Israel to deal with more direct threats. IMO.
And, as mentioned, if we wanted a coalition with Middle Eastern countries to go to war against Iraq, it would be impossible for Islamic states to side with a Jewish state against another Islamic state, however secular it may be.
“Israel didn’t want to offend the Arabs in an effort to avoid making them angry and want to kill the Jews. Got it.”
That’s right. You can be as sarcastic as you want, but facts are facts, as much as you seem to want to deny them. Google what happened (Israel standing down and staying out of the fray at request of U.S. and other countries, while not retaliating against rocket attacks that landed in Israel and just eating it). Don’t know why you wish to pretend that this wasn’t what happened when a little research on your part will answer your scepticism. Odd that.
He’s setting the bar very high for the other 49 governors and not a one of them is even trying to match it.
May God richly and abundantly bless FL and Governor DeSantis so obviously that NOBODY can not see it.

Good to see DeSantis again putting action to words.
Maybe he can add some illegals to help unload when they get there...
Relax. He’s making Biden look bad, and that’s a good thing. Recognizing that is not hero worship.
Israel is the new Pakistan. All those Billions given to Pakistan and they were hiding OBL.
