Several Republican lawmakers have criticized Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for his comments regarding Israel's leadership and the suggestion of new elections amidst an ongoing conflict, specifically calling for Netanyahu's ouster. Representatives and Senators, including Kevin Hern, Andy Harris, Marsha Blackburn, John Cornyn, Ken Calvert, David Kustoff, Ted Budd, and Byron Donalds, along with former Vice President Mike Pence, expressed concerns over Schumer's remarks, deeming them inappropriate and an interference in Israel's democratic process. They highlighted Israel's status as a sovereign democracy and a key ally in the Middle East, emphasizing the importance of supporting Israel, especially during its current conflict with genocidal terrorists and following the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
Chuck Schumer’s attack on the Israeli government is an outrage and undermines the relationship between America and Israel at the worst possible time. The prime minister of the democratic State of Israel is chosen by the citizens of Israel; not the Majority Leader of US Senate.…
Chuck Schumer recklessly meddled in Israeli elections & called for Netanyahu's ouster. This is completely inappropriate & out of line. Israel is at war with genocidal terrorists who just committed the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. America must stand with Israel. https://t.co/I7zxPWEKNE
It’s completely inappropriate for Senator Schumer to undermine the leadership of Israel during a time of war. They are one of our closest allies, and the Israeli people are the only ones who get to decide when it's time for a new leader. Chuck Schumer should be more concerned…
Chuck Schumer undermining Israel’s elected leadership is improper and unacceptable. He knows better. Israel is our greatest ally and the strongest democracy in the Middle East. The United States must continue to demonstrate our unwavering support as Israel defends herself…
Majority Leader Schumer’s speech today calling for new elections in Israel is a wildly inappropriate attempt to interfere in a foreign democracy. It’s even more outrageous that Schumer’s remarks come while our friend, Israel, is in the midst of a war to secure peace for its…
Senator Schumer is out of line. He should NOT be undermining our closest ally & the only democracy in the Middle East in the wake of a brutal terror attack. This is a blatant attempt to appease extremists in his party to the detriment of our relationship with Israel. https://t.co/aVXYkIEEB6
The Democrats invent stories of and decry foreign interference in our elections - while Chuck Schumer has no problem calling for American interference in Israeli elections. His interference in Israeli elections today, during an existential war for Israel, only serves to help…
Chuck Schumer’s comments regarding Israel are offensive to our most important ally in the Middle East. Israel is a sovereign democracy and it is not for Schumer to decide their leader. It’s time he stop pandering to the woke mob.
Chuck Schumer has no business calling on Israel to replace its democratically elected leadership. Instead of sending aid to Israel, he plays politics. The American people know well: we stand with Israel in the fight for its survival. https://t.co/2Yglnnk2R1
