Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is cutting his Asia codel short due to the unfolding war in Israel and will be back in New York by Thursday night, Punchbowl News reports.
“Schumer, the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in U.S. history, met with Chinese President Xi Jinping earlier this week in Beijing and successfully pushed the country’s foreign ministry to issue a stronger statement condemning the violence in Israel.”
Politico: “Schumer has simultaneously been addressing Hamas’ attack on Israel while overseas, but will come back on Thursday to get classified briefings, go to Shabbat and spend time with family.”
