Ciattarelli Going to Israel
Via Facebook:
“Melinda and I are packed and ready to go on a very special visit to our sister nation, Israel. The objective is to learn more about the strong and important ties New Jersey and Israel share culturally and economically, and lay the groundwork for a Ciattarelli Administration to strengthen those ties. I am grateful to have this opportunity, and look forward to the work we will do together in the coming days.”
He posted a follow-up to that post 15 minutes ago from the airport:
“My visit to Israel serves two important objectives:
1. Meet with business leaders interested in establishing companies in New Jersey and learn what my administration can do to improve our business climate as well as ensure their success.
2. Show solidarity with Israel. I opposed the BDS movement before as a state legislator, and I will continue to as your Governor.”
