Netanyahu blasts Schumer's comments calling for new elections in Israel as 'inappropriate'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer‘s (D-NY) speech calling for new elections in Israel.

Netanyahu called Schumer’s comments “totally inappropriate” during an appearance on CNN‘s State of the Union with Dana Bash

“I think what he said is totally inappropriate,” Netanyahu said, when shown Schumer’s speech. “It’s inappropriate to go to a sister democracy and try to replace the elected leadership there. That’s something that the Israeli public does on its own. We’re not a banana republic.”
