"Political Rivals Unite for Israeli Hostages, NYPD Endorsement, and Immigration Battle in New York Special Election"

Democrat Tom Suozzi and Republican candidate Mazi Melesa Pilip, who are competing in a special election for New York's 3rd Congressional District, set aside their campaign rivalry to stand together at a rally calling for the release of Israeli hostages, including Omer Neutra, a soldier in the Israel Defense Forces who was taken hostage by Hamas. Both candidates expressed their shared concern for the Neutra family and emphasized the bipartisan nature of their mission. The rally aimed to raise awareness and support for the return of the hostages, drawing attention from the heavily concentrated Jewish population in the district.
