US Senate Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer sharply criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu's coalition no longer meets the needs of the Jewish state after October 7, the congressman is convinced.
Israel's ruling Likud party responded to Schumer's remarks by declaring that "Israel is not a banana republic, but an independent and proud democracy" Authorities also hope that the US congressman "will respect the elected government of Israel, and not undermine it," as Benjamin Netanyahu previously said. US President Joe Biden may consider limiting military aid to Israel if it expands the ground operation in the Gaza Strip.
