President Joe Biden has said that US Senator Chuck Schumer echoed the concerns of many Americans when he called for new elections in Israel and harshly criticised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an obstacle to peace, Reuters reports.
“He made a good speech,” Biden said in the White House’s Oval Office when asked by reporters about remarks by Schumer, the Senate majority leader, on the chamber’s floor on Thursday.
“He expressed a serious concern, shared not only by him but by many Americans,” Biden said, adding that Schumer notified him and his staff in advance about the speech.
