Highest-ranking Jewish official in US, Netanyahu's main rival and Israeli opposition party call for early elections as pressure mounts on hawkish PM Netanyahu from all sides.A woman carries a sign as she walks past tents at a camp set up by Israeli anti-government protesters during a four-day sit-in near the parliament in Jerusalem on April 2, 2024, calling for the dissolution of the government.
Comments of Schumer, the first Jewish majority leader in the Senate and the highest-ranking Jewish official in the US, came after Israeli War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz called for elections in September. "This government needs to go home as soon as possible so that we can return the hostages, return the evacuees home, defeat Hamas, and make sure that someone takes care of the Israeli middle class," he said.The Democrat leader said he believed Netanyahu had"lost his way" by allowing his political survival to take precedence over the best interests of Israel.
Protesters and the relatives of hostages taken on October 7 have called for the resignation of the premier. The hours-long raid and Israeli military's haphazard reaction resulted in the killings of more than 1,100 people, Israeli officials and local media say. The Israeli war has pushed 85 percent of Gaza’s population into internal displacement amid acute shortages of food, clean water and medicine, while 60 percent of the enclave's infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the UN.
