“Prime Minister Netanyahu has misplaced his method,” says Schumer.

I stand right this moment to discuss what I imagine can and ought to be the best way ahead to make sure mutual peace and lasting prosperity for Israelis and Palestinians. The fourth main impediment to peace is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. I’ve identified Prime Minister Netanyahu for a really very long time. Though we have now strongly disagreed on many events, I’ll all the time respect his extraordinary bravery for Israel on the battlefield as a younger man. I imagine that in his coronary heart the safety of Israel is his prime precedence. Nevertheless, I additionally imagine that Prime Minister Netanyahu has misplaced his method by prioritizing his political survival over Israel's greatest pursuits. He has aligned himself with ministers Smotrich and far-right extremists equivalent to Ben-Gvir. And in consequence, he’s rather more keen to tolerate civilian deaths in Gaza, pushing assist for Israel all over the world to historic lows. If Israel turns into untouchable it can’t survive. As a lifelong supporter of Israel, this turned clear to me. After October 7, the Netanyahu coalition now not fits Israel's wants. The world has modified essentially since then, and the Israeli folks at the moment are being oppressed by a governing strategy that’s caught prior to now.
