Netanyahu Criticizes US Leaders for Waning Support Amid Israeli Election
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a call from Senator Chuck Schumer for elections in Israel, accusing the senator of treating his country like a "banana republic." The rift between Israel and the United States over the war in Gaza widened as Netanyahu faced increasing pressure to negotiate a cease-fire. President Biden praised Schumer's speech criticizing Netanyahu's policies, but stopped short of endorsing the call for a new election. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has led the United States to start airdropping food and water into the enclave, with a maritime shipment of aid reaching northern Gaza's shores for the first time in nearly two decades.
