In defiant remarks to Congress on Wednesday, Netanyahu defended Israel’s military and dismissed criticism of a campaign which has devastated Gaza and killed greater than 39,000 folks, in response to well being officers within the Hamas-ruled enclave.
Dozens of Democrats boycotted Netanyahu’s speech, voicing dismay over the hundreds of civilian deaths in Gaza, the destruction of its infrastructure and the displacement of most of its 2.3 million folks.
In Wednesday’s speech, Netanyahu praised Biden’s assist for Israel.
However to cheers from Republicans, he touched on Trump’s pro-Israel document as president. He praised Trump’s determination to maneuver the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a long-held objective of conservatives that infuriated Palestinians.
