Adam Schiff Says Schumer’s Remarks on PM Netanyahu ‘Should Be an Earthquake in Israel’

EXCERPT:

SCHIFF: "Well, first of all, I want to highlight that Chuck Schumer laid the responsibility for this war exactly where it lies, and that is with Hamas terrorists that attacked and murdered and raped and tortured Israelis on October 7, and continues to hold hostages, continues, in a cowardly way, to use the Palestinian people as human shields, Hamas terrorists hiding behind women and children in Gaza. So, the responsibility lies with Hamas. But I also agree with Leader Schumer's comments regarding the necessity of reducing civilian casualties in Gaza. And we are holding Israel to a high standard because we share not only national security interests with Israel, but also share our values with Israel. And while I wouldn't go as far as the leader in setting out the timing of elections, the fact that Israel's most staunch defender in the U.S. Congress, Chuck Schumer, should be making these remarks should be an earthquake in Israel. We are Israel's most important ally. We recognize Israel's right to defend itself. But we also recognize the need for a two-state solution. That, ultimately, is the way to not only resolve this conflict, but prevent future conflicts from taking place. So, I think these remarks are incredibly important.”
