US President Joe Biden says that Chuck Schumer made a “good speech” yesterday in which the Senate majority leader called for new elections in Israel to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who he branded as an obstacle to peace.
“He made a good speech,” Biden says in the White House’s Oval Office, when asked by reporters about Schumer’s remarks on the Senate floor.
“He expressed serious concerns, shared not only by him, but by many Americans,” Biden says, adding that his staff were notified about the speech in advance by Schumer’s office.
