Why Can Chuck Schumer Interfere in Israel's Elections From the Senate Floor?

Democrats like to complain about foreign interference in our own elections here in the US, but apparently it’s okay when they want to interfere.

Today Chuck Schumer, from the floor of the Senate, called for new elections in Israel to topple Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu:

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), the highest-ranking Jewish lawmaker, levied some of the harshest criticism yet of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from a top U.S. official, calling on Israel to hold elections for a new government to deal with the threat of Hamas.

Schumer criticized Netanyahu for aligning himself with far-right extremists in the Israeli government, saying he has turned away from a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians. Biden supports such a plan.

“Nobody expects Prime Minister Netanyahu to do the things that must be done to break the cycle of violence, preserve Israel’s credibility on the world stage, and work toward a two-state solution,” Schumer said.
