On Monday’s MSNBC “Read Out” broadcast, host Joy Reid said that Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “are engaged in ongoing wars, very unpopular positions, and “We share the criticism that we are prolonging the war in order to maintain the situation.” And Prime Minister Netanyahu is “fighting for his reputation, his legacy, his power. This is a time of uncertainty for his reign, and as we learned from President Putin, that’s where the world has to worry most.” “.”
After discussing Russia’s election fraud, Reed said: “Meanwhile, other leaders in other parts of the world are also leaning toward authoritarianism. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the highest-ranking Jewish official in U.S. history, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) The Israeli leader fired back at CNN.
Read said after playing a video of Netanyahu criticizing Schumer. “Please note that he has not promised new elections. Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke with President Biden today. The two spoke for the first time in more than a month, marking the longest gap between calls since October 7. Prime Minister Netanyahu, who heads the most right-wing and conservative government in Israel’s history, has big plans to rein in the country’s judiciary. These plans include limiting the Supreme Court’s ability to review parliamentary decisions; , which includes changing the way judges are appointed. Is this our democratic ally in this region?”
she continued. “Let’s be honest, Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin have something in common: ongoing wars, very unpopular positions, and criticism that they are prolonging wars to stay in power. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, like President Putin, has pushed the country further to the right, despite mounting concerns about hunger and accusations of using civilian hunger as a fighting tool in occupied Gaza. Stripping, by the way, is a war crime. As the war rages on, people starve, children die, and Rafah’s fate remains uncertain, Netanyahu is trying to protect his reputation, legacy, and He’s fighting for power, his reign is a period of uncertainty, and as we learned from Putin, that’s where the world has to worry most.”
