Netanyahu Accuses Sen. Schumer Of 'Interference' In Israel's Democracy

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that calls from US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for new elections in Israel are "inappropriate". Schumer on Thursday had called for Netanyahu's government to be unseated, saying new leadership was needed in the country.

 

"As a lifelong supporter of Israel, it has become clear to me [that] the Netanyahu coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel after October 7," he said, referring to the Hamas attack in southern Israel that resulted in the deaths of almost 1,200 people. "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."

 

"I think what he said is totally inappropriate. It's inappropriate to go to a sister democracy and try to replace the elected leadership there," Netanyahu said in an interview on CNN.

 

Political leaders in the US have reportedly been increasingly frustrated with Netanyahu's leadership in Israel, particularly his insistence on pushing ahead with a planned assault on Rafah in Gaza, which currently hosts 1.5 million mostly displaced Palestinians sheltering near the Egyptian border.

 

Netanyahu reiterated his plans to attack the city on Sunday, vowing to uproot what he says are Hamas operatives. Israel's assault on Gaza has reportedly killed at least 31,645 people in Gaza, most of them women and children, according to the enclave's health ministry.

Biden Embraces Schumer’s "Good Speech" Which Blasted Netanyahu

President Biden has endorsed Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer's blistering Thursday speech that targeted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wherein he said Israel under Netanyahu could become a "pariah".

 

Biden said Friday that Schumer had made a "good speech". The president was asked about the Senate floor remarks during an exchange with reporters in the Oval Office. It was the first time Biden weighed in: "He expressed serious concerns, shared not only by him but by many Americans," Biden continued.

 

Biden also noted that his staff had been notified ahead of time of the content of the speech, meaning the White House had time to pressure Schumer out of it if it wanted to, or at least get him to tone down the criticisms.

 

As the AP noted, "The Democratic president did not repeat Schumer’s appeal for Israel to hold elections, a step that would likely end Netanyahu’s tenure because of mounting discontent with his leadership."

 

But at the same time Secretary of State Antony Blinken while in Europe tried to calm fears that the US-Israeli relationship is collapsing. "That’s actually the strength of the relationship, to be able to speak clearly, candidly and directly," he told reporters in reaction to Schumer's address.

Richard Medhurst, independent journalist from the United Kingdom, presents his geopolitical analysis in this viral video exposing the hidden reasons behind the US and Israel's war on Gaza.

 

  1. Control of the large quantities of gas in the mediterrenean sea through sanctions on Iran (withdrawal from nuclear deal), Russia (Ukraine war), and crippling Lebanon, Syria, and now Gaza's, infrastructure. Conveniently, this leaves only Israel able to extract the gas in the Leviathan gas field, necessary to deliver on its gas deal with the European Union following the outbreak of the Ukraine war.

 

  1. Countering BRICS, China, and the New Silk Road. Shortly before the war in Gaza began, Netanyahu had announced his "plan for a New Middle East" establishing a rival trade route from India, to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and into Occupied Palestine and Europe.
