DAINES STATEMENT ON SENATOR SCHUMER’S CALL FOR NEW ELECTIONS IN ISRAEL
Statement
Issues: Foreign Affairs Elections
“Complaining about foreign interference in American elections while calling for new elections in Israel, especially while it is in the middle of an existential war, is hypocritical and a dangerous new low in American foreign policy. Israel’s government is 15 months into a four-year term and the war it is waging is Israel’s fight, not just Prime Minister Netanyahu’s. The call for new elections today is a cynical ploy to placate the American Left as our own election is just months away. President Biden should immediately disavow Senator Schumer’s progressive pandering. Not doing so further weakens our standing in the world and emboldens our enemies.”
