US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer hits back at former president Donald Trump, after the presumptive Republican nominee accused the New York Democrat of turning on Israel and claimed American Jews who vote Democratic “hate their religion” and “hate everything about Israel.”
“To make Israel a partisan issue only hurts Israel and the US-Israeli relationship,” Schumer writes on X. “Trump is making highly partisan and hateful rants.”
“I am working in a bipartisan way to ensure the US-Israeli relationship sustains for generations to come, buoyed by peace in the Middle East.”
