The arsonist who allegedly tried to kill Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro decided to firebomb his residence because of "what he wants to do to the Palestinian people."

The man charged with setting the Pennsylvania governor’s mansion on fire said he did so in defense of Palestinians.The suspect Cody Balmer called 911 on Sunday, the day of the attack, and said he needed Gov.

A year ago, Carole Zawatsky was invited by Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro to a Passover Seder, held in the same room at the governor’s official residence that was devastated by an arsonist just hours after Shapiro hosted this year’s Jewish holiday feast.
