Chuck Schumer says the delegation he’s leading was rushed to a shelter amid rocket fire in Israel

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Sunday that the congressional delegation he’s leading in a trip to Israel was rushed to a shelter in Tel Aviv amid rocket fire.
Schumer posted a photo on X of what appears to be him and several other people, including Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, sheltering in a tight bunker.
“While in Tel Aviv today, our delegation was rushed to a shelter to wait out rockets sent by Hamas,” Schumer wrote. “It shows you what Israelis have to go through.”
“It shows you what Israelis have to go through.”
It also shows what Palastinians have to go through. Let's not act like this is only a tragedy for one group of people. Both sides fucking suck. It would be cool if there was a path out of this that didn't involve genocide.
I mean there is. You just need someone other than Bibi in charge. Yeah it's that simple, just look at the Oslo accords.
This should end the debate about remote work. He could have been sitting at home wearing a suit up top and pajama pants down below and no one would have been the wiser. Instead, he spent hours commuting to Israel only to get rushed to a bunker. Probably got nothing done.
C’mon. Be more realistic. We all know Schumer wears a leopard print man thong around the house…
That was the laugh I needed today. Thank you :-)
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Sunday that the congressional delegation he’s leading in a trip to Israel was rushed to a shelter in Tel Aviv amid rocket fire.
Schumer arrived in Tel Aviv this weekend leading a bipartisan coalition of senators — including Romney, Bill Cassidy, R-La., Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., and Jacky Rosen, D-Nev. — to meet with Israeli officials, just over a week after Hamas launched its deadly rampage on the country.
As well as Herzog, Schumer is scheduled to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz, a chief political rival and centrist opposition leader.
Schumer cut short a congressional delegation he led to Asia this month to return to the U.S. to address the crisis in the Middle East.
Schumer has been briefed by leaders at the State and Defense departments, and he has also been involved in efforts to facilitate travel for Americans who want to leave Israel.
After the meeting with Israeli leaders Sunday, Schumer announced that he would be leading a bipartisan Senate aid package for Israel when he returns to Washington.
