The only member in the US Congress who showed a reaction to Netanyahu! Everyone wondered who he was.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a speech at the joint session of the US Congress upon the invitation of congressional leaders. During his speech, Netanyahu was applauded standing up for a long time, except for one member who showed opposition.

While the attacks in the Gaza Strip continued, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu argued in his speech at the US Congress that Hamas' attacks on October 7, 2023, were similar to the 1941 Pearl Harbor and 2001 Twin Tower attacks in the US. Netanyahu thanked US President Joe Biden for his support to Israel in the Gaza attacks and for saying that he is a "proud Zionist." Netanyahu claimed that the statements regarding the killing of civilians in Gaza were "lies" and stated, "Despite all the lies you hear, Gaza is the place where civilian casualties are the lowest compared to combatants in urban warfare history."

"TWO DOZEN CIVILIANS KILLED"

Netanyahu, who said that he went to Refah last week and met with Israeli military commanders, claimed that he received the answer "no civilians were killed except for a single incident where a bomb's shrapnel hit an armed personnel of Hamas and unintentionally killed two dozen people" to the question of "how many civilians were killed."

LONG APPLAUSE AT THE END OF EACH SENTENCE

Netanyahu stated that the US and Israel develop the "most sophisticated" weapons in the world together, and this not only protects the two countries and their common interests in the Middle East but also eliminates the need for US troops to enter the field. Netanyahu thanked for the support, stating that Israel did not withhold its support while fighting on every front. It was remarkable that every sentence of Netanyahu's speech was applauded standing up for a long time by the members of the US Congress.

HE HELD THE BANNER THROUGHOUT THE SPEECH

It was seen that Rashida Tlaib, the only member of Palestinian origin in the US Congress, held a banner saying "War Criminal" during Netanyahu's speech. One of the guests invited to the Congress had a T-shirt with the words "Sign the agreement now" on it.

PROTESTERS WERE ARRESTED

Meanwhile, Netanyahu was protested by numerous supporters of Palestine after his speech in the Congress. Security forces arrested some of the protesters.
