The Senate majority leader and one of Israel’s staunchest supporters in the Democratic Party, accused the country’s prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, of having “lost his way” and being “too willing to tolerate the civilian toll in Gaza, which is pushing support for Israel worldwide to historic lows”. Crucially, Mr Schumer, who is Jewish, called for early elections in Israel. Shortly after, Joe Biden endorsed this message, calling the remarks “a good speech”. American presidents have had blazing rows with Israeli prime ministers before. But it is hard to think of a time when the occupant of the Oval Office has come so close to publicly endorsing the deposing of Israel’s elected leader. On March 17th Mr Netanyahu struck back, arguing Mr Schumer’s comments were “totally inappropriate” and that an election would “paralyse the country for at least six months.” At first glance the objective of deposing Mr Netanyahu might seem straightforward. According to one recent survey, over 70% of Israelis want their country’s elections brought forward from their scheduled date in late 2026. Rivals to Mr Netanyahu including Benny Gantz, a member of his war cabinet, are on active manoeuvres, including talking bilaterally with America’s government
