Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's (D-N.Y.) speech calling for a new government in Israel landed like an earthquake Thursday, delivering a huge shock to the already tense U.S.-Israel relationship.
Why it matters: In addition to being the most senior Jewish elected official in the country, Schumer has had one of the longest and closest relationships with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of any U.S. politician.
Schumer's speech stunned officials and observers in both Washington and Jerusalem because he has been — and still is — the Democratic Party's most avid supporter of Israel in decades.
His harsh remarks about Netanyahu create more political space for other Democratic members of Congress to publicly voice their criticism of the Israeli government amid the ongoing war in Gaza.
So Biden sanctions Jewish settlers, not terrorists in the PA government.

His foreign secretary says that Israel's job is to protect Gazans (Hamas) and that's more important than winning the war.
And his top senator calls for regime change in Israel on the assumption that a leftist prime minister will surrender to Hamas.
But look over there! Trump!
Wow what an interesting tirade. If you wanted I am sure you could say something similar about Trump!
