Rep. Cory Mills orchestrated an evacuation operation of 32 stranded Americans in Israel with no way home following the deadly attacks by Hamas terrorists.
Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., successfully evacuated 32 Americans Wednesday who were stranded in Israel unable to find flights home, and he is planning to conduct a second mission in the coming days. The Florida Republican told Fox News Digital he arranged, with help from the U.S. embassy in Jordan, for the safe passage of 32 Americans stranded in Tel Aviv after multiple airlines canceled flights, transporting them across the Jordanian border.
And, look, I'm not making a massive dent in things. There's thousands of people that are still trapped there. I got 32 people out today, and I hope to get a lot more tomorrow,' he said. Although the mission was successful, it originally didn’t go as planned. Mills said he originally planned to have an armored vehicle meet him and take the stranded travelers to Jordan.
mean, there's Americans who are sitting here dying. There's hostages being taken … lives that are being lost. And I just feel like when you have an opportunity where you're blessed with the capability to be able to do something about it, how can you not?' Mills said. 'This went very smoothly. I'm blessed. I feel like I was very lucky in this one and, you know, I want to continue to be able to do more.
