Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) took to the Senate floor on the morning of March 14 to deliver a speech in which he cast doubt on the current Israeli administration and urged for new elections in the country.
The top congressional Democrat said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had “lost his way” and become one of four “major obstacles” toward achieving peace in the region, with the other obstacles to peace being Hamas, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, and “radical right-wing Israelis” across the current Israeli government and society. He said would focus on progress toward a two-state solution to the Israel–Hamas conflict.
