Senator Chuck Schumer’s attack on the elected Israeli government during this time of crisis is truly unconscionable, according to Senate Republican Leader Rob Ortt. In response to Schumer's call for new elections in Israel, Ortt emphasized that "the true ‘Obstacle to peace’ is the Hamas backed terror regime that sanctioned the rape and murder of Israeli civilians on October 7th."
Ortt further stressed that "peace in the region will only come when the United States stands strongly in support of Israel’s right to defend itself." This statement comes amidst escalating tensions in the region and highlights the importance of standing by Israel during challenging times.
