TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV/Gray Florida Capital Bureau) – Florida lawmakers have developed a new partnership with Israel.
The Florida-Israel Policy & Exchange Initiative will focus on strengthening the relationship between the two states.
The initiative will focus on shared leadership, economic policy and interfaith relations to address antisemitism.
Rep. Dean Black (R) discussed the motive behind this partnership.
“You see, this is about shared common values. It is nonpartisan. It’s simply about right and wrong, and it’s simply about fostering humanity,” he said.
