Why flags will be at half-staff in Arkansas on Monday

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff on Monday.

Sanders says flags will be at half-staff to commemorate those killed during the October 7, 2023 attack in Israel.

“This was the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust,” Sanders said in a statement on Friday, “and in the year since, Israel has fought to bring the hostages home and eliminate the terrorists who orchestrated this attack.”

Sanders continued saying there has been “a shocking rise in antisemitism and pro-Hamas protests in the United States.”

Flags will be at half-staff at state buildings from sunrise to sunset on Monday.
