Republican senators have accused the Democratic Party of backing away from ally Israel and emboldening Iran to attack the country.
Republicans in the Senate are accusing the Democratic Party, including President Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., of emboldening Iran prior to the country's recent attack on U.S. ally Israel. 'Instead of standing with our ally, Israel, Democrats are focused on appealing to their radical left base, which hates Israel and is actively supporting Hamas and Iran,' Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital.
However, the source was unable to say whether any implications regarding Iran were relayed during the briefing.
White House spokesperson Andrew Bates pushed back on criticism of Biden's posture toward Israel, and he rejected claims he emboldened Iran to attack, in a statement to Fox News Digital. 'Former Trump Administration officials and Fox News’ own reporting have debunked those lies,' he said. 'President Biden is the only American President to have directly defended Israel, as he ordered the American military to do last weekend,' Bates said.
McConnell said last month that Schumer's call for new Israeli elections was both hypocritical and grotesque as well as 'unprecedented.' 'Make no mistake, the Democratic Party doesn’t have an anti- problem. It has an anti-Israel problem,' the Republican leader said in floor remarks at the time.
