Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to address the US Congress on July 24 during his visit to Washington. Netanyahu stated that he will 'present the truth' about the ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza, describing it as a 'just war.' The invitation, extended by both party leaders, has sparked controversy, with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticizing the decision as 'wrong' and 'completely inappropriate.' Netanyahu's upcoming speech is seen as unsettling by some who advocate for the rule of law and a just peace in the Middle East. The speech comes amid a shift in Hamas's tactics to guerrilla warfare in Gaza. Netanyahu is also under indictment in Israel.
Last time Netanyahu addressed Congress, his party used it in campaign ads. Considering almost all Democrats, even those generally supportive of Israeli policy, want Netanyahu gone, they should think about whether they want to be his props. https://t.co/XVLcjjT5Cm
