Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Thursday sought to clarify his remarks against the Israeli government which caused a firestorm.

“The US cannot dictate the outcome of an election. That is for the Israeli public to decide,” he wrote in a post on social media.

“As a democracy, Israel has the right to choose its own leaders. But the important thing is that Israelis are given a choice. There needs to be a fresh debate about the future,” he added.

Earlier, Schumer gave a speech in which he called for new elections to be held in Israel, saying that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "has lost his way." He further called the Prime Minister an "obstacle to peace."

    1. Classic politician double talk, talking out of both sides of his mouth.

  2. He's simply reiterating what Obama and Clinton tried to pull off in the past. And BTW, what Carter succeeded in doing with the Sha of Iran, whose oppressive replacement, the Ayotollah regime, is now being bankrolled by Biden - Biden is indirectly funding Russia's war against Ukraine. let that sink in.
