Weiner: "Schumer Is Right, White House Is Wrong On Israel"

Statement

Date: April 23, 2010
Location: Washington, DC

Today, after White House spokesperson Robert Gibbs stated "I don't think it is a stretch to say we don't agree with what Senator Schumer said," which came in response to the senator's criticism of the Administration's position on Israel, Rep. Anthony Weiner (D -- Queens and Brooklyn) released the following statement:

"Israel is our closest ally in the region, yet they continue to receive more criticism than deserved and less support than is required."

"Instead of continuing to lash out publically at our closest ally, the Obama Administration should be listening to what Senator Schumer says. Schumer is right, and the White House is wrong on Israel."
