Gov. Kevin Stitt joined Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on a trip to Israel Thursday to show “solidarity."
Both Stitt and Abbott shared on social media that they met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog in Jerusalem.
According to a press statement, the pair of governors embarked on the trip both to show support to Israel and also "discuss future partnerships” between them.
The press statement also said Stitt and Abbott would visit victims of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack that killed at least 1,200 Israelis.
Israel has since launched retaliatory strikes and a ground invasion into Gaza. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, at least 9,000 Palestinians have been killed.
