An Israeli diplomat in Miami on Thursday pushed back against an assertion by the administration of Ron DeSantis that the Florida governor had coordinated with his office to facilitate the shipment of ammunition and weapons to Israel.

Earlier on Thursday, a DeSantis spokesperson said the governor’s office had contracted cargo planes to send drones, body armor and helmets to Israel and worked to “get weapons and ammunition to Israel through private parties.”

There were few details disclosed about the shipments, including where the materials originated, and which third parties Florida worked with.

“I am not aware and would find it very, very bizarre to think that somebody is procuring weapons and sending it to Israel,” Elbaz-Starinsky said. “This is not how we work. And certainly not privately funded.”

Meanwhile, we’ve learned that Ron wrote at least one check of $50M to the air cargo contractor out of state funds. Ron needs attention and the people pay.
