Netanyahu – U.S. Right (also see Netanyahu Congressional Address)
Updated 2024-08-28
2024-07-24 Despite Protests, Netanyahu Solidifies Support From the Right During US Trip Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stands accused of war crimes, and the popular political consensus within the U.S. and Israel suggests he is thwarting an attempted ceasefire in the horrifying war on Gaza for his own personal gain. But he received a hero’s welcome this week from the U.S. Republicans who are eager to stoke divisions among Democrats and animate evangelical voters during an election year.
Thousands gathered at the capitol for protests as Netanyahu prepared to address a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, including Palestinian activists and Israelis frustrated with Netanyahu’s failure to end the war and bring the remaining hostages home.
House Speaker Mike Johnson joined Netanyahu for a press conference to reiterate U.S. support for Israel after previously warning that any Democrats or activists who attempt to disrupt the prime minister’s speech would be arrested. “Our dear ally Israel is in an existential fight for its very existence, and that fight extends to every one of its borders,” Johnson said. https://truthout.org/articles/despite-protests-netanyahu-solidifies-support-from-the-right-during-us-trip/
