Tel Aviv: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hit back Sunday at growing US criticism against his leadership amid a devastating war with Hamas, calling calls for fresh elections completely unfair. In recent days, US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called for Israel to hold fresh elections, saying that Netanyahu has lost his way.
President Joe Biden supported Schumer’s speech. Earlier, Biden had accused Netanyahu of harming Israel over the death of a large number of civilians in Gaza. Netanyahu told TV channel ‘Fox’ News that Israel would never have called for fresh elections in the US after the September 11, 2001 attacks. He called Schumer’s comments inappropriate.
“We are not an ordinary republic,” he said. The people of Israel will decide when they will have elections and who they will elect, and this is not something that will be imposed on us.” Asked by CNN whether he would commit to new elections after the war ends, Netanyahu said “I think that’s for the Israeli people to decide.
