US President Biden praises Senate leader Chuk Schumer's speech that urged ouster of Israeli hawk and new elections in the country, saying, Schumer's serious concerns are "shared by many Americans."Biden's praise for Schumer's speech panning Netanyahu has fuelled speculation about tensions with the Israeli leader.
Biden told reporters in the Oval Office that Schumer had contacted his staff to say he was going to make the comments, and added that he was"not going to elaborate on the speech." Biden also faces growing political pressure at home, with fears voters could punish the Democrats in the US presidential election in November over his unwavering support for Israel.
