Schumer strongly criticized Netanyahu in a 40-minute speech Thursday morning on the Senate floor. Schumer said the prime minister has put himself in a coalition of far-right extremists and “as a result, he has been too willing to tolerate the civilian toll in Gaza, which is pushing support for Israel worldwide to historic lows.” “Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah,” Schumer said (Associated Press). NBC: Schumer expressed support for a temporary cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, as President Joe Biden has been pushing for, saying it “would allow for the return of hostages and humanitarian relief of suffering Palestinians.” He said he’s against a permanent cease-fire because he said it would only allow Hamas to “regroup and launch further attacks on Israeli civilians” (NBC). Guy Benson: It’s astounding to see the Senate Majority Leader calling for new elections & the toppling of an elected leader in an allied country, from the Senate floor. But this is the same man who threatened SCOTUS justices by name, from steps of the Court (X). |

Is this meddling in another nations politics? Is this instigating another country's citizens to change their government? Is this election interference?
