Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) emphasized on Friday that the United States must maintain an unwavering stance in support of Israel’s security following its military operation against Iran on Thursday. It “must be iron-clad,” he said.
Schumer refrained from condemning the Israeli offensive, in contrast to several high-ranking Democrats in the Senate who have already labeled the strike as dangerously provocative.
“I have long said that Israel has a right to defend itself and that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,” Schumer said in a statement. “Ensuring they never obtain one must remain a top national security priority.”
