US Sen. Cory Booker, who was in Israel during Hamas attack, describes "fear and worry"
Sen. Cory Booker, who was in Israel when Hamas attack happened, described how he sheltered with others, including children and families, following the attack.
Booker posted a video to social media after leaving the country.
“About this time yesterday, I was jogging behind me in the Old City when I got an urgent call from my chief of staff telling me to get back to the hotel as quickly as I could, that Israel was under attack,” Booker, a Democrat from New Jersey, said in the video posted on X.
“When I got back to the hotel, I joined others in the bomb shelters or the stairwells of the hotel. Frightened faces. There were children and elderly, families, many Americans. There was a sense of fear and worry, and a knowledge to many of us that there were horrific things going on around the country at that time,” he added.
