The Impressive TimesIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the U.S. Congress in Washington, D.C., this morning. In his speech, he aimed to bolster U.S. support, particularly for weapons supplies, amid growing international criticism following over nine months of conflict in the Palestinian enclave. He also discussed the potential for a future partnership between Israel and Arab nations to enhance the West Asia security alliance.
Netanyahu emphasized that Israel is actively working to secure the release of hostages and outlined his government’s vision for a post-war Gaza that is “demilitarized and deradicalized,” led by Palestinians who do not seek to destroy Israel. His remarks were met with significant opposition, including a boycott by dozens of Democrats and protests by thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators. Netanyahu criticized the protesters, accusing them of aligning with Hamas and being influenced by Iran’s propaganda.
