The Florida House of Representatives has introduced a resolution designating March 25, 2025, as "Israel and Jewish Community Advocacy Day at the Capitol." This resolution highlights the longstanding and special relationship between the United States and Israel, which is founded on shared democratic values, strategic interests, and mutual respect. It acknowledges the vibrant Israeli and Jewish community in Florida and recognizes the efforts of student groups, such as NolePac at Florida State University, in combating antisemitism and strengthening ties between the U.S. and Israel.
Additionally, the resolution notes the economic benefits Florida gains from its partnership with Israel, including over $400 million in exports in 2022, and references the establishment of strategic partnerships and memoranda of understanding between Florida and Israeli entities. The resolution emphasizes the importance of this alliance and aims to promote advocacy for the Israeli and Jewish community within the state.
