New York Governor Kathy Hochul apologized for her analogy comparing Israel's response to Gaza and Canada to Buffalo.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul apologized for suggesting during a speech at a Jewish philanthropy event that Israel has the right to destroy Gaza following a Hamas attack on October 7th. Making an analogy about Canada attacking Buffalo, she issued a statement saying she regretted the inappropriate analogy, which could be hurtful to community members, and apologized for her poor choice of words. Hochul made it clear that she supports Israel's right to self-defense while also stating that Palestinian civilian casualties should be avoided and more humanitarian aid should be provided to Gaza's population.
