McGuckin echoed these sentiments, expressing solidarity with New Jerseyans with ties to Israel and emphasizing their support for Israel's defense efforts.

The Assembly and Senate GOP resolutions are a testament to our unwavering commitment to stand with our Jewish communities during this difficult time."

Asm. Catalano highlighted the need for action in response to such violence and expressed sympathy for the affected families. He stated, "When innocent men and women lose their lives at the hands of savages like Hamas terrorists, it demands action from legislators to condemn those horrible acts of violence... The Assembly and Senate GOP resolutions condemning this violent extremism affirms our wholehearted support of Israel and the Jewish People."

The White House also announced arrangements for the evacuation of Americans from Israel to Europe, which Asm. Catalano expressed support for, hoping for a safe return of those wishing to leave. He urged for the passage of the resolution, emphasizing the Legislature's responsibility to stand united against evil.
