State Camp party chairman and war cabinet member Benny Gantz responded today (Thursday) to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's call for new elections on X/Twitter.
In the post, Gantz stated that "the US and Israel have shared values and interests, and the citizens of Israel owe America great thanks" for its support.
He then went on to say that "the Senate Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is a friend of Israel, who helps it a lot even in these days, but he erred in his statement. Israel is a strong democracy, and only its citizens will determine its leadership and its future. Any outside intervention on the matter is not right and not acceptable."
