DeSantis Welcomes 1,500 Evacuated Jewish Americans at Tampa Airport

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis greeted 1,500 Jewish Americans at Tampa Int’l Airport around 5 a.m. Friday after sponsoring rescue flights from war-torn Israel, where they were stranded amid the escalating conflict with Iran.

This marks DeSantis’ second major rescue effort—he also sent planes after Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre in 2023, saying he stepped in to “fill the void” left by the Biden administration.

Florida, home to 650,000 Jews, has the 3rd-largest Jewish population in the U.S.
