Gov. Kathy Hochul apologized Friday night for remarks she made at a Jewish philanthropy event that went viral on social media, which implied Israel is justified to destroy Gaza following Hamas’ horrific Oct. 7 attack on the Jewish state.
Speaking at the United Jewish Appeal-Federation of New York’s event Thursday in Manhattan, Hochul called out Hamas as a terrorist group that “must be stopped” and then tried to make an analogy by using Canada and her home city of Buffalo.
“If Canada someday ever attacked Buffalo, I’m sorry, my friends, there would be no Canada the next day,” Hochul declared.
