Cuomo Won’t Meet With Arabs During His ‘Solidarity’ Trip to Israel

"I want the Jewish community to know that we support them 100 percent, and we are arm-to-arm with them in this battle. And every New Yorker takes it personally. But, no, it's a very short trip and I won't have the opportunity to do more than that."

ABORTION PUNISHMENTS It was at this point that Donald Trump's strategy of just winging it on policy started to hurt him. But by the time he told Chris Matthews on March 30, 2016 that he thought there "has to be some form of punishment" for women who undergo abortions, it was too late to stop him from becoming the GOP nominee. The gaffe locked in a now-familiar pattern of him having to spend days disowning his outrageous statements instead of doubling down on them. And that sucks up precious airtime that could be used to call attention to Hillary Clinton's vulnerabilities. This comment also didn't help lift his rock-bottom favorability ratings among women.

on June 12, 2015, Gaza City, Gaza. The devastation across Gaza can still be seen nearly one year on from the 2014 conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants. Money pledged by the international community six months ago to rebuild Gaza has not materialised leaving many Palestinians impoverished and still suffering with the poor economy. United Nations official figures said that the 50 day war left at least 2,189 Palestinians dead, including more than 1,486 civilians, and 11,000 injured. 67 Israeli soldiers and six civilians were killed.
