DeSantis Seeks to Expand Florida Sanctions on Iran, Condemns Hamas Attacks on Israel

DeSantis wants to expand Florida sanctions on Iran for supporting Hamas and other militant groups. This includes finance, construction, shipping, and other industries.

DeSantis condemned the Hamas attack on Israel that has killed over 1,600 people. He called the militants "barbarians."

DeSantis said he will ask Florida law enforcement to monitor for fundraising activities in Florida that could support Hamas or other terrorist groups.

DeSantis ordered flags at half-staff and lit the Florida Capitol to honor Israel. He criticized Biden for not showing unified support for Israel's right to defend itself.

DeSantis has passed laws in Florida sought by conservative Jewish leaders. He is courting Jewish voters as he considers a 2024 presidential bid.
