Commissioner Kristen Rosen Gonzalez emphasized the need for the trip to demonstrate 'the city's unwavering support and friendship for the Israeli people,' amidst conditions in Gaza.
The City Commission unanimously decided to fund the trip privately while limiting the delegation to just the seven elected officials, showing a commitment to responsible expenditure.
'I want to do anything in my power that I can to be a voice for Israel's right to defend itself,' stated Rosen Gonzalez during the meeting.
City Attorney Ricardo Dopico highlighted that contributions for the trip must be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, adhering to Miami-Dade County's ethics guidelines.
