Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a speech to Congress, facing both support and criticism. Protesters gathered outside the Capitol to denounce his visit and Israel's actions in Gaza.
Netanyahu defended Israel's actions, praised US bipartisan support, and rejected ICC accusations. He highlighted his ties with both Biden and Trump administrations and emphasized the importance of American education and English.
The speech took place amidst a divided Congress and tensions over the ongoing conflict. Netanyahu referenced the October 7 Hamas attack and the tens of thousands killed in the conflict.
Human rights groups disputed his claims about aid delivery in Gaza, pointing out discrepancies in data and challenges in distribution. Meanwhile, protesters burned flags and a puppet of Netanyahu, with clashes between police and pro-Palestinian demonstrators.
Family members of Israelis held hostage since the October 7 attack also held a rally, urging Netanyahu to accept a peace deal. Despite the protests, Congress cheered for Netanyahu during his address, while outside, protesters chanted 'free Palestine' and faced heavy police presence.
