The incoming Democratic leader in the Senate offered a history lesson about the Gaza Strip to Secretary of State John Kerry after he delivered a speech Wednesday condemning Israeli settlements while expressing support for a two-state solution.

In particular, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., took issue with Kerry’s remarks about the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, a small territory on the Mediterranean Coast from which Israel withdrew in 2005 in an attempt to ease tensions between Israelis and Palestinians.
