Gov. Andrew Cuomo will lead a delegation of state officials and business leaders to Israel as a show of “solidarity” this week.

Cuomo’s office announced the two-day trip Sunday night, his first international trip since taking office as governor in 2011, with plans take a commercial flight to Tel Aviv Tuesday evening.

“Friends stand together in times of crisis, and I am proud to lead this bipartisan delegation to Israel to reaffirm our friendship and support,” Cuomo said in a statement. “New York has always had a special relationship with Israel. As Hamas and other terrorist organizations continue to threaten Israel, now is the time to deliver that message of solidarity in person.”

1. Will he be bringing coffins for the 423 children killed in Gaza? Then stay home, playing politics is

absurd, what State business is he on?

Oh, maybe this business....

"Also included on the trip is Cuomo’s brother-in-law, fashion designer Kenneth Cole, as well as real-estate magnate and Daily News publisher Mortimer Zuckerman. Howard Maier, the chairman emeritus of the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County will also be in the New York delegation."

Are they not terrified of the Hamas rockets? Good to bring the media with you in your pocket....this is terrifying corruption.

2. No state business that I know. Just politics.

3. Holy batshit, Robin, so it comes to this? Corruption out in the open using the "solidarity shield"?

"Governor Cuomo brings fashion designer brother in law and media tycoon on taxpayer funded junket to Israel", would be a good title.

6. He's trying to be Presidential.

He still thinks he's a viable Presidential candidate. This is so he can crow about his foreign policy experience.
