Schumer: Democratic caucus weighing best way forward on conditioning aid to Israel
Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief
US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer tells reporters that the Democratic caucus is still discussing the best way forward, regarding conditioning aid to Israel.
Schumer does not suggest that the Democratic Party will seek conditions on aid for Israel in his response to a question on the matter.
While 10 left-wing Democratic caucus members voted in favor of a resolution last night seeking to condition aid to Israel, the vast majority of Democrats in the Senate voted with Republicans to block the measure advanced by Bernie Sanders.
Conditioning aid to Israel is opposed by the Democratic-led White House as well as the overwhelming majority in Congress.
