Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's impending speech to US Congress sparks condemnation from Senator Bernie Sanders, who refers to him as a 'war criminal'. Democratic lawmakers, such as Kamala Harris, are set to boycott the address, with Representative Jerry Nadler criticizing Netanyahu as the 'worst leader in Jewish history'.

The visit comes amidst a divided Congress, with Republicans and Democrats at odds over Netanyahu's leadership. Protests in Washington DC highlight the contentious nature of his visit, with demands for a Gaza ceasefire and accusations of genocide.

The strained US-Israel relationship further complicates Netanyahu's presence in Congress, with President Joe Biden's recent withdrawal from the November elections adding to the political tension.
