Opposition leader in Israel Yair Lapid said that Senator Chuck Schumer's speech indicates that Netanyahu is intentionally losing Israel's top supporters in the United States.

Earlier, Democratic Majority Leader in the US Senate, Chuck Schumer, criticized Israel and said that it must correct course in order to achieve lasting peace.

Schumer added that Netanyahu is "a major obstacle to peace and has often submitted to the demands of extremists," as he put it. He stressed that Israel's move towards a one-state solution would further tear apart its relations with the world, including the United States.
