1. Sen. Sen Collins reiterated her support for Israel as violence escalates in the Middle East. Collins told WMTW she’s been in touch with the Department of Defense to figure out how the U.S. can best support Israel. “They murdered people going door to door, they massacred young people at a dance, they’ve kidnaped babies and mothers and grandparents in wheelchairs. There is nothing that they won’t do. So, the United States must stand strong behind Israel, our closest ally in the region and the one true democracy,” Collins said. (WMTW)
