Alabama Sen. Katie Britt has departed for Israel as part of a Senate delegation aiming to demonstrate its support for one of America’s strongest allies in its war against Hamas.

While news of the delegation’s trip to Israel, led by South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, was reported Thursday, Britt’s office did not confirm it until Friday morning. In the announcement, Britt’s office said that additional details are not being shared at this time due to security concerns.

“This trip signifies our continued, unequivocal, and resounding support for Israel and the right to defend herself against the barbaric attacks on innocent children, women and men by Hamas terrorists,” Britt said in a statement accompanying the announcement of her trip. “As a mom, as an American and as a Christian, I am absolutely horrified by what we’ve seen. On our trip, my colleagues and I will advocate for stability in the Middle East as we work towards long term sustainable peace that keeps Americans safe at home and abroad.

“I will continue to work with colleagues on both sides of the aisle in the days and weeks and months ahead to ensure that Israel has everything it needs. Peace will only come through strength. The stability of the world, the region, the security of our own homeland, and the safety of our communities and families depend on it. Please pray for us in the coming days. Please pray for our great nation and please continue to pray for Israel. Thank you and God bless.”

Other senators in the delegation, reported Friday by Punchbowl News, are Democrats Cory Booker, Jack Reed, Richard Blumenthal, Ben Cardin and Chris Coons and Republicans John Thune, Dan Sullivan and Susan Collins. Britt is the only freshman senator who is part of the delegation.

Punchbowl News reported Friday that the delegation has arrived in Saudi Arabia and will move on to Egypt and Israel.

Britt’s office said that during the trip, senators will be seeing firsthand the situation on the ground, meeting with leaders across the region and emphasizing the United States’ support for Israel.
