Democratic lawmakers criticize Netanyahu over Israel’s airstrikes on Iran

Democratic lawmakers are launching the Israeli conflict, Iran, and producing the initial air strikes of Israel on Thursday night in the capital of Tehran.

Israel launched the “RISing Lion”, which targets the Iranian nuclear and missile infrastructure, and Iran responded to strikes in Tel Aviv, which resulted in the injury of at least five people.

senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) issued a statement calling on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “extremist”.

Can the United States target while Iran is divided against Israel?

“The world is more dangerous and unstable as a result of the extreme challenge of Netanyahu’s government in the continuous challenge of international law,” Sanders wrote. “First, the hunger of children in Gaza is used as a tool for war, which is a barbarian violation of the Geneva Conventions. Now, its illegal attack on Iran risked Iran with a complete regional war.”

Sanders added the strikes, “American interests were directly conflicting” in resolving long -term tensions on the Iranian nuclear program.

“Sanders were planned on Sunday, but Netanyahu chose instead launching an attack,” Sanders wrote. “The United States must make clear that we will not be dragged into another Netanyahu war. Besides the international community, we must do everything possible to prevent the escalation of this conflict and bring warring parties to the negotiating table.”

“Netanyahu was not trying to help diplomacy, he was trying to destroy diplomacy,” Murphy wrote. “How do we know? It is said that they targeted and killed Iran’s negotiation with Trump.”

Global invitations to avoid an escalation after the Israeli strikes on Iran

Tim Kane, D-FA, who is also working on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, added that he could not understand why Israel will launch a preventive blow when a meeting date between the United States and Iran was set at the end of this week.

Senator Jack Reed said, Dr.

Reid wrote: “Israel’s disturbing decision to launch air strikes on Iran is a reckless escalation that risk igniting regional violence.” “These strikes not only threaten the lives of innocent civilians, but the stability of the entire Middle East and the safety of citizens and American forces. While tensions between Israel and Iran are the real military aggression of this measure is not the answer.”

Trump is facing a decisive decision as the Middle East was swinging at the edge of the war

By Friday noon, some Democrats apparently change their melody in response to the counter -attack.

Representative Brad Sherman, the extension of California, criticized Iran’s response, describing it as “cheese.”

Sherman wrote: “Israel’s strike was targeted specifically to senior Iranian military commanders and military sites that pose an existential threat to Israel,” Sherman wrote. “The response of the Islamic Republic to target the civil centers in #Telaviv. Unexpected cheese from a system that spent decades with the brutality of its people.”

Others escaped from the conversation together.

“This is a rapidly developed position, and it is important for the United States to work with our allies and avoid steps that will lead to more escalation throughout the region,” said Senator Mark Warner, D-FA, in a statement. “For years, Iran threatened the safety of Israel and the region, and Israel is an undeniable right to defend itself and its citizens.”
