Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he believes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has “lost his way” as a leader and, along with Palestinian leaders and some Israeli officials, has become an obstacle in achieving peace in Israel and Gaza.
In a March 14 speech on the Senate floor, Schumer, a lifelong Brooklynite, mourned the Israelis killed and taken hostage during Hamas’ Oct. 7 and the tens of thousands of Palestinians killed in Israel’s bombing and invasion of Gaza.
