Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who drew intense criticism, including from fellow Democrats and major American Jewish organizations, last month for calling for early Israeli elections, appeared to double down on Wednesday, citing Benny Gantz, an Israeli minister without portfolio.
“When a leading member of Israel’s war cabinet calls for early elections and over 70% of the Israeli population agrees according to a major poll, you know it’s the right thing to do,” Schumer wrote.
In his social-media post, Schumer linked to a story in the Israeli press about Gantz calling for early Israeli elections in September.
The poll that Schumer cited is one that the Israel Democracy Institute released on Feb. 6. The poll appeared to present the numbers differently.
“Only a minority of our respondents currently think that the next Knesset elections should be held on their original date, in November 2026,” per the Israel Democracy Institute.
“A large majority (71%) believe that the elections should be brought forward, with 38% of the opinion that elections should be held when the war ends and 33% that elections should be announced now and then held in around three months’ time, as the law requires in such cases,” it added.

Wicked evil rasha merusha erev rav.
Precisely the reason he was dealt with, already a few years ago.
“When a leading member of Israel’s war cabinet calls for early elections and over 70% of the Israeli population agrees according to a major poll, you know it’s the right thing to do,” Schumer wrote.
That’s a pretty dumb way to boost your argument. Take the fact the rival wasn’t elections as proof.
A leading member of the U.S government held Biden didn’t win the election in 2020. Did that boost the argument that election was invalid, in Shumer’s mind?
Caroline Gluck @ Breitbart news, outlines Biden’s 4 part plan to oust Bibi. Gantz, hareidi ministers too, threatened with war crimes. Israeli leftists working with Biden will revv up demonstrations along with that.
that Caroline Gluck is as gullible as other Jews about “Biden”.
Why is this legal? Oh, I experienced a brief lapse: HE’S A DEMOCRAT! TOTALLY ABOVE THE LAW AND ALL MORALS.
Why is this legal? I didn’t hear a word about elections in Iran, Russia China etc., his only concern is Israel. Oh, I experienced a brief lapse: HE’S A DEMOCRAT! TOTALLY ABOVE THE LAW AND ALL MORALS.
And why does he think Joe Biden is fit for reelection?
Chuck’s father was Jewish.
If the mother is not Jewish he’s not Jewish, period.
So was his mother.
