Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) said he is resolute in his decision to wear his military uniform from his service in the Israeli Defense Forces on Capitol Hill. Mast said he made the decision following his colleague Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) hoisting the Palestinian flag outside her office and the former Hamas chief Khaled Mashal calling for a day of rage in support of the Palestinians — both happening after a surprise attack by Hamas terrorists killed thousands of Israelis on Oct. 7.

“I’m going to make it known exactly where I have stood and where exactly it is that I stand in this moment,” Mast said in an interview with the Washington Examiner magazine.
