Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech to the US Congress highlighted his praise for the US, criticism of protesters, and call for 'total victory' over Hamas for peace. He defended the Gaza war, accused the ICC of false accusations, and warned of potential consequences for America.

Netanyahu reiterated his stance on the clash between 'barbarism and civilisation' and advocated for a demilitarised Gaza under Israeli control, disappointing families of Israeli captives. Meanwhile, the UK's challenge to the ICC arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Defense Minister Gallant, and Hamas leaders is under review.

The ICC seeks justice for alleged war crimes in Gaza, while Netanyahu's claims of aid to Gaza are scrutinized amidst reports of a humanitarian crisis and high Palestinian casualties.
