Schumer hails ‘serious discussion’ on Israel’s future as Netanyahu fumes
US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer responds to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s CNN interview released earlier today, saying: “It’s a good thing that a serious discussion has now begun about how to ensure Israel’s future security and prosperity once Hamas has been defeated.”
Netanyahu had said the Democrat’s controversial speech last week, in which Schumer urged new elections in Israel, was “totally inappropriate.”
“It’s inappropriate to go to a sister democracy and try to replace the elected leadership there,” Netanyahu said in the CNN interview.
