‘Core Part’ of ‘Thoughtful’ Schumer Speech Was 10/7 Should Spur Elections in Israel

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Jose Díaz-Balart Report,” Biden campaign co-chairman Sen. Chris Coons (D-Delaware) spoke out against Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) ) gave a “thoughtful and thorough speech”. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be voted out and “a core part of Sen. Schumer’s message is to give the people of Israel an opportunity to be heard and participate in the election after October 7th”. The new government…This is a shocking change in Israelis’ understanding of security following the October 7 attack by Hamas.”

Mr. Koons said: “If you listen to the entire speech, it was a very long, thoughtful, thorough speech, almost 40 minutes. Most people listening to this talk will remember that one sentence and what Sen. Schumer and Prime Minister Netanyahu said. Senator Schumer has been a lifelong and passionate supporter of the state of Israel. At the heart of his message is the belief that a reliable path to a two-state solution is the key to Israel’s future security. It was necessary and that Prime Minister Netanyahu is relying on two far-right ministers for his government…who are they adamantly opposed to a two-state solution?The crux of Sen. Schumer’s message was that was that after October 7, it was urgent that Israelis have the opportunity to be heard and take part in elections that would form a new government, whether it was one led by the prime minister, Netanyahu, or anyone else. is up to the Israeli electorate. But this is a shocking change in Israelis’ perception of security following the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas. Sen. Schumer quits fighting Hamas It never made sense to me to say that Israel should, or that Israel has no right or even obligation to protect civilians in any way. So I think Prime Minister Netanyahu misunderstood some of his statements. Masu.”

He added: “On the issue of fighting the remaining Hamas battalion in Rafah, I, like many others, have personally told Prime Minister Netanyahu that it is possible and possible to continue the war with Hamas. “We must ensure the safety of civilians,” he said, “and provide humanitarian relief.” And that means that a full-scale ground offensive cannot be launched at scale without providing safety and security for the one million Palestinian refugees currently in Rafah. That’s causing some tension between many people here in Congress, including Senator Schumer, and Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government. ”
