War cabinet minister Benny Gantz calls Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer a “friend of Israel who helps us a lot, including recently, but he made a mistake in his speech” calling for elections in Israel to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Israel is a strong democracy, and only its citizens will determine its leadership and future. Any external intervention in the matter is incorrect and unacceptable,” Gantz tweets.
