Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s delegation was rushed to a shelter to wait out rockets shot off by Hamas – just three days after up to 100 pro-Palestine demonstrators were arrested outside his NYC home.
Schumer posted a photo to X, the app formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday morning that appeared to show him and others including Senator Mitt Romney gathered in a bunker.
The New York Democrat landed in Israel this weekend to lead a bipartisan coalition of senators in talks with Israeli officials.
‘While in Tel Aviv today, our delegation was rushed to a shelter to wait out rockets sent by Hamas,’ the senator wrote.
‘It shows you what Israelis have to go through.’

He added: ‘We must provide Israel with the support required to defend itself.’
Just days earlier, around 100 protesters were arrested at a Pro-Palestine demonstration outside his Brooklyn home.
Protestors demanded an end to US aid for Israel on a day of mass protest around the world.
The event was organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, a community of Jewish activists who fight ‘for the liberation of all people,’ according to their website.
The group gathered at the Grand Army Plaza before marching a short distance to the senator’s Park Slope home and blocking the street.
Some demonstrators waved signs that read ‘Zionism is terrorism’ and ‘End Israeli apartheid.’
Others held a banner with the words ‘Jews say stop genocide against Palestinians.’
People were arrested in the street, after blocking the flow of traffic, and placed on two MTA buses.
