The effects of the all-out war that's broken out in the Middle East after Hamas attacked Israel, can be felt worldwide, even here in Houston.
Livia Link Raviv is the Consul General of Israel to the Southwest. She is the official representative of Israel in our region and serves as a liaison between the residents of the region and the state of Israel."Among the causalities, the people being held hostage and wounded as well, we have foreigners, we have Americans as well, so this is really a concern for all of us," she said.
She says luckily, her family and loved ones are safe. But, says there are so many others who aren't as fortunate."I would say it's an attack on the free world. On liberty, democracy, all the values we stand for," she said."This is a very special city and community that shows a lot of solidarity. And that's exactly what we need right now, solidarity with Israel. Condemn the terror attack.
