About 300 people braved rainy weather to support Israel and Utah’s Jewish communities. The attendees included elected officials, community members and members of several faith communities.
Former Texas Gov. and presidential candidate Rick Perry attended a pro-Israel rally at the Utah State Capitol on Wednesday evening, several attendees confirmed. Perry stood on the Capitol’s front steps, shoulder-to-shoulder with Utah state senators and representatives, while Utah Gov. Spencer Cox and several faith leaders spoke at a lectern at the foot of the staircase.
