Inna Vernikov, a member of the New York City Council, has resigned from the Women's Caucus, citing its failure to condemn Hamas terrorists and support female hostages released from captivity. Vernikov expressed her disappointment that a group dedicated to women's rights could not stand up for Jewish women in the face of this crisis.
NYC Councilwoman Inna Vernikov has resigned from the NYC Council's Women's Caucus , citing its anti- Israel agenda. Vernikov announced her departure in a video shared on social media on Sunday, stating that the group's refusal to release a statement condemning the Hamas terrorists and in support of female hostages who were released from captivity prompted her decision.
In an interview with Fox Friends First on Monday, Vernikov elaborated on her reasons, expressing her dismay over the group's inaction in the face of the harrowing ordeal experienced by the young women. 'We all watched the release of these female hostages, these young girls who are only 20 years old, came out of captivity, surrounded by Jihadi terrorists with masks on, weapons drawn, only 20 years old. Could you imagine your daughter, or yourself at 20 years old as a woman, being held in tunnel? God knows what they did to them,' she stated.Vernikov emphasized her disappointment that the Women's Caucus, a group composed of over 30 women, failed to condemn the terrorists and stand up for Jewish women. 'I simply asked the Women's Caucus, which I was a part of in the New York City Council, to make a simple statement condemning the terrorists, supporting these women and calling on the release of the hostages that are still remaining in captivity,' Vernikov explained. 'Unfortunately, it is the height of hypocrisy that a Women's Caucus, in New York City Council, made up of 30-plus women, who is supposed to stand up for women and women's rights, cannot simply condemn terrorists and stand up for women that are Jewish,' she said. 'I'm out of that caucus.' She refuted claims that her departure was politically motivated, stating that 'The Democrats are unfortunately pandering to the hard left,' and asserted the need for elected officials to 'stand up' and 'not be cowards'. Vernikov expressed her gratitude towards President Donald Trump for his strong stance on the Israel-Hamas war, which she believes contributes to the possibility of releasing the remaining Israeli hostages
