In Washington, D.C., U.S. Senator Ted Cruz from Texas shared his thoughts today. He was responding to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s recent speech. Schumer had called for elections in Israel.
Cruz expressed strong concerns. He pointed out a series of actions by Joe Biden and his officials within the last day. These actions included granting Iran a sanctions waiver worth $10 billion, imposing sanctions on Israeli Jews, and suggesting Israel’s main focus should be on helping Gazans. Cruz was particularly troubled by Schumer’s call for a change in Israel’s government. This call comes at a time when Israel is engaged in critical conflicts. According to Cruz, these actions by the Democrats severely harm both Israel’s security and the relationship between the U.S. and Israel. He mentioned his personal friendship with Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s Prime Minister, but emphasized that this friendship does not diminish the seriousness of the Democrats’ actions.
Cruz strongly believes that Israel, like any nation, has the right to decide on its government. He also believes that Israel’s primary concern should be the safety of its people. He finds it astonishing that he needs to clarify these points. According to him, it seems the Democrats have overlooked these fundamental truths.
