@thehillpolitics: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a fiery speech to Congress on Wednesday that elicited a boycott by Democrats inside the Capitol, sparked massive protests outside, and elevated the partisan fight over Israeli-Palestinian relations that promises to continue straight into November’s elections. Appearing before a rare joint meeting of Congress, Netanyahu recounted in violent detail the atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7; warned of the ongoing menace posed by Iran and other regional adversaries; and urged American policymakers to unite behind Israel for the sake of eradicating those threats once and for all. Just blocks from the Capitol, protesters were rallying around calls for Netanyahu to be arrested over alleged war crimes. After his speech, a group of protesters clashed with police as they lowered U.S. flags outside Union Station and raised a Palestinian flag. #netanyahu #congress #israel #palestine #gaza #hamas #protest #politics #thehill #fyp #foryou
