Trump says Schumer has ‘become like a Palestinian’

SUMMARY

On Wednesday, former President Trump criticized Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) for his remarks on Israel's handling of the Gaza conflict, accusing him of “becoming like a Palestinian.” During a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity, Trump claimed that Israel lacks the congressional support it once had, citing criticism from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Schumer. Schumer had previously argued that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu had “lost his way” and called for new elections amid the conflict with Hamas. Trump emphasized that Israel “has to finish the job” against Hamas swiftly and strongly.
