Schumer’s anti-Netanyahu speech strengthens Bibi in Israel's war to defeat Hamas
Fox News
The unprecedented move by Senator leader Chuck Schumer to urge Israelis to oust Netanyahu has unleashed a storm of criticism in the Jewish state as it continues its war against Hamas.

"As a lifelong supporter of Israel, it has become clear to me: The Netanyahu coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel after Oct. 7," Schumer said Thursday on the floor of the Senate. "The world has changed, radically, since then, and the Israeli people are being stifled right now by a governing vision that is stuck in the past."
Israel’s Channel 14 published a survey Wednesday, a day before Schumer’s broadside against the Jewish state, noting the chance Netanyahu’s conservative bloc could garner an additional six seats in the parliament after Minister-without-Portfolio Gideon Sa’ar ended his partnership with Benny Gantz’s National Unity Party.
