Israeli Ambassador Michael Herzog said Israel’s “democratic ally” should not remark on Israel’s “domestic political scene”, following a call by US Senate leader Chuck Schumer for an end to Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu’s government and new elections, Al Jazeera reports. .

“The Netanyahu coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel after October 7,” US Senator Schumer had said yesterday from the Senate floor. “Nobody expects Prime Minister Netanyahu to do the things that must be done to break the cycle of violence, preserve Israel’s credibility on the world stage, and work towards a two-state solution.”
