Netanyahu Rival Fires Back at Schumer’s ’External Political Intervention’ After He Calls for New Elections

WASHINGTON, DC - FEBRUARY 27: Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) talks reporters as he returns to the U.S. Capitol following meetings at the White House on February 27, 2024 in Washington, DC. Schumer, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) met with President Joe Biden earlier in the day to talk about funding for Ukraine and how avoiding a partial federal government shutdown later in the week.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) decision to call for new leadership in Israel.

On Thursday, Schumer called for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ouster.

However, former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennet, a rival of Netanyahu, responded to the message by posting a statement on X, “Regardless of our political opinion, we strongly oppose external political intervention in Israel’s internal affairs. We are an independent nation, not a banana republic.”

“With the threat of terrorism on its way to the West, it would be best if the international community would assist Israel in its just war, thereby also protecting their countries,” it added.

Fmr Prime Minister Naftali Bennett:

Regardless of our political opinion, we strongly oppose external political intervention in Israel's internal affairs.

We are an independent nation, not a banana republic.

With the threat of terrorism on its way to the West, it would be best…

— Naftali Bennett נפתלי בנט (@naftalibennett) March 14, 2024

“I have known Prime Minister Netanyahu for a long time. While we have vehemently disagreed on many occasions, I will always respect his extraordinary bravery for Israel on the battlefield as a younger man. I believe in his heart his highest priority is the security of Israel. However, I also believe Prime Minister Netanyahu has lost his way by allowing his political survival to take precedence over the best interests of Israel,” the New York senator said.

Schumer added, “At this critical juncture I believe a new election is the only way to allow for a healthy and open decision making process about the future of Israel.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) blasted Schumer as he said, “It is grotesque and hypocritical for Americans who hyperventilate about foreign interference in our own democracy to call for the removal of a democratically elected leader of Israel. This is unprecedented. We should not treat fellow democracies this way at all.”
