Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the US Parliament on Wednesday. However, some MPs boycotted the address when thousands of people protested and surrounded the US capital Washington. In his address, Netanyahu defended the ongoing war in Gaza and condemned the American protesters. He has vowed to continue the war for nine months until complete victory. Netanyahu called for increasing US aid in the war against Hamas.
America and Israel are together
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said that America and Israel should stand together. When we are together, a lot of changes are going to happen. We will win and they will lose. Netanyahu protected his country through war. He also mocked those who oppose the war. Pointing to the demonstrations taking place on the streets near the US capital, he said that Israel's opponents are benefiting from this.
Police stopped the protesters
Netanyahu has surpassed former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to become the first foreign leader to address the meetings of both houses of Parliament four times each. Meanwhile, more than 39 thousand people have been killed in the ongoing war in Gaza. There were widespread protests in America regarding this. The protesters condemned Netanyahu's failure to release Israeli and American hostages after the October 7 attack on Israel. Police used pepper spray to stop the crowd of protesters moving towards the US capital Washington.
Kamala Harris was not present
Kamala Harris could not be present when the Israeli Prime Minister was addressing the US Parliament. She could not attend due to a pre-scheduled program. However, the MPs clapped during Netanyahu's address. But the prominent MPs of the Democratic Party did not do so. More than 50 Democratic Party MPs and independent MPs boycotted Netanyahu's address. Meanwhile, everyone's eyes were on the absence of Kamala Harris.
Netanyahu's speech on protesters
Benjamin Netanyahu accused many American protesters of standing with the terrorists who killed children in a Hamas attack on October 7. Republican Party's vice-presidential candidate JD Vance could not attend Netanyahu's address due to his busy election campaign. Israeli hostage Noa Argamani, who was freed during a rescue operation in Gaza, was also present on the occasion.
