Jewish Democratic Council of America CEO Halie Soifer says Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer “did something big” when he called for elections in Israel to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“He said what the overwhelming majority of American Jews are thinking as it relates to our deep commitment to Israel and concern about its future as a secure, Jewish and democratic state,” Soifer tweets. “Yasher koach to him for demonstrating such moral clarity, conviction and leadership.”
