Israel's ambassador to the U.S., Mike Herzog, responded to the words of the Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, saying that "Israel is a sovereign democracy. It is not helpful, all the more so when Israel is at war against the murderous terrorist organization Hamas, to refer to the internal political scene of a democratic ally. It goes against our common goals." Schumer called for new elections in Israel, and claimed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had "lost his way." (Itamar Eichner)
