A 777 flight from Tel Aviv arrived at Tampa International Airport Sunday night, evacuating United States citizens from Israel.
It was the end of a long journey for American families who had been living in Israel, as well as those who were traveling there when the conflict began.
“This isn’t get to the airport and get on an airplane, this is a week-long endeavor,” he explained. “These are people from all over Israel, right up to the front lines of the war we have some people.” “I think if you were watching, you saw a lot of families with young kids,” DeSantis said. “So, a lot of these people were in a real pinch. They had no help. They were not able to get out of Israel and the state of Florida stepped up and answered the call.”
“The United States government will arrange charter flights to provide transportation from Israel to sites in Europe,” said John Kirby, the National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications. “And I would add that we’re also exploring other options to expand the capacity of doing this, including exploring whether it’s possible to help Americans leave by land and by sea.”
