Less than a week after their election victory, the Democratic Party in the United States is experiencing an internal rebellion. A progressive faction within the party has launched a campaign against the leaders of the Democrats in Congress, with a significant portion of the criticism directed at their support for Israel, according to "Israel Hayom." As part of this protest, Democratic House members have been inundated with calls and messages urging them not to support the appointment of Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker. Simultaneously, opposition is emerging in the Senate against the continued leadership of Chuck Schumer from within the progressive wing, as they seek to challenge the party's long-standing leadership. Despite the pressure campaign and criticism against both leaders on foreign policy issues and support for Israel, assessments in Washington remain unchanged, and Schumer and Jeffries are still expected to be re-elected to their leadership positions in Congress.
