Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to address a joint session of Congress as Washington remains fiercely divided over Israel’s conduct in the ongoing war.
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to Congress and offered a full-throated defense of his country’s war against Hamas.
- Netanyahu praised President Joe Biden, who he has often been at odds with over the war strategy, for his support for the close American ally.
A defiant Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in an address to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, dismissed as “utter nonsense” criticisms by the United Nations, human rights groups and others that his government has committed war crimes in Gaza and derided protesters as “idiots” and tools of Iran.
The embattled Israeli prime minister told U.S. lawmakers that Israel will settle for “nothing less” than total victory over Hamas, and described a vision for a postwar Gaza seemingly at odds with the terms of a peace deal being pursued by the President Biden's administration.
THANKYOU FOR YOUR DEDICATED SCHEDULED QUALITY AMPLE TIME.
