Israeli PM Netanyahu Delivers Address To Joint Meeting Of U.S. Congress
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint meeting of Congress in Washington, DC. His visit coincided with the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, which has lasted for nearly ten months.
The speech was boycotted by some Senate and House Democrats due to concerns about Israel's treatment of Palestine. After his address, Netanyahu met with US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and US Senator Ben Cardin.
The Israeli Prime Minister was also greeted by Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Sara Netanyahu, his wife, among other attendees. Meanwhile, protests against Netanyahu's visit and the ongoing conflict erupted near the US Capitol, with activists demonstrating against Israeli actions in Gaza.
In light of the dire situation in Gaza, Spain has offered to take in 16 severely ill children from the region for treatment in Spanish hospitals. The United Nations has highlighted the challenges faced by humanitarian organizations in providing aid in Gaza, where medical facilities are limited and new displacements have occurred.
Former US President Donald Trump made false claims that Vice President Kamala Harris refused to meet with Netanyahu, when in fact, a meeting between the two was scheduled. Additionally, tech billionaire Elon Musk announced that his satellite internet service, Starlink, is now being used in a hospital in Gaza to enable remote medical consultations and real-time diagnoses.
