Senator Schumer, the New York Democrat and highest-ranking Jewish elected official in the U.S. called Netanyahu a "major obstacle to peace" and said he "lost his way by allowing his political survival to take the precedence over the best interests of Israel."
Schumer, also called on its government to hold a new election, saying many Israelis have lost confidence in their government and it was "the only way to allow for a healthy and open decision making process about the future of Israel.
Mr. Biden has supported Israel's right to defend itself in response to the Oct. 7 terrorist attack by Hamas, but has become more critical of Netanyahu's government amid a humanitarian crisis and increasing civilian death toll in Gaza. He is also facing pressure from some Democrats to stop arming Israel over its conduct during the war against Hamas.
Just a thought.
