Chuck Schumer’s speech was an act of courage, an act of love for Israel,” Pelosi told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union” immediately after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the comments.
Pelosi said Netanyahu must “be unaware or ill-informed” of the humanitarian situation in Gaza after the prime minister claimed Israel was letting in enough aid.
“When we give assistance to a country, we insist they do not interfere with our giving humanitarian aid,” Pelosi said.
Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California also discussed Schumer’s recent comments on “State of the Union” Sunday.
“I agree with Leader Schumer’s comments regarding the necessity of reducing civilian casualties in Gaza,” Schiff said.
