US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has called for new elections in Israel. Chuck Schumer accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of prioritizing his "political survival" over the country. He said Netanyahu has "lost his vision".
Chuck Schumer said these things in the US Senate last Wednesday. He warned that Israel could become isolated from allies because of the large number of civilian casualties in Gaza. Israel is also at risk of being 'isolated' globally.
Last October 7, Israel was ambushed by the Palestinian independence armed organization Hamas. 1 thousand 200 people were killed. 253 people were taken hostage. Since then, Israel continues to attack the Gaza Strip indiscriminately.
They are not stopping despite the requests of different countries of the world. Their sacrifice is not stopped even in the holy Ramadan. More than 31,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks so far. Most of them are women and children.
It is the first time a US politician has harshly criticized the indiscriminate attacks on the innocent people of Gaza. After this attack, US President Joe Biden and his administration refrained from criticizing Israel. But Chuck Schumer is an avowed supporter of Israel, but this time he harshly criticized the Israeli Prime Minister.
Chuck Schumer said Israel must change its policy. In addition, appropriate measures must be taken to protect the innocent civilian population of Gaza.
The influential US senator said, "As a democratic country, Israel has the right to choose its own leader." The future of Israel needs a renewed debate. In my opinion, that can best be done through an election.
Israel is scheduled to hold national elections in October 2026. But Chuck Schumer called for elections in the country almost two years earlier.
