The Florida Legislature will return to the Capitol for a special session that will allow lawmakers to express their support for Israel and give Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis more talking points as he campaigns for president. When the session starts on Monday, lawmakers will consider new sanctions against Iran, which has supported Hamas.
FILE - Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks at the Heritage Foundation, Friday, Oct. 27, 2023, as part of the Mandate for Leadership Series in Washington. The Florida Legislature will return to the Capitol for a special session Monday, Nov. 6, that will allow lawmakers to express their support for Israel, while giving DeSantis some talking points as he campaigns for president.
A bill filed last week says lawmakers “reject and condemn persistent threats against Jewish people, institutions, and communities in the State of Florida, the United States, and abroad, including those from individuals and organizations committed to the extermination of the Jewish people.” Florida already has sanctions against companies that directly do business with Iran and six other “countries of concern,” including Cuba, China and Russia. The U.S. federal government has imposed sanctions against Iran for decades.
