          The remarks by Schumer, the Senate majority leader, were part of a scathing speech he gave last week, during which the New York Democrat also accused Netanyahu of putting his political survival before the good of his country. The speech was indicative of the growing gap between Israel and the U.S. on the war in Gaza. President Biden praised the speech but stopped short of endorsing Schumer’s call for a new election.
