Gaza is suffering under a conflict that broke out after Hamas’ Oct 7 attack on Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressing a joint meeting of Congress at the US Capitol in Washington, on July 24.
“For all we know, Iran is funding the anti-Israel protests that are going on right now outside this building,” he said. In a speech lasting about an hour and interrupted repeatedly by applause, Mr Netanyahu sought to shore up US support for Israel, especially weapons supplies, in the face of growing international censure after more than nine months of conflict in the Palestinian enclave that has threatened to escalate into a broader regional conflict.
Mr Netanyahu also spoke about the prospects for a broad Middle East security alliance between Israel and its Arab neighbours, something the US has sought, as a bulwark against Iran. But he stopped short of ruling out the West Bank-led Palestinian Authority, whose role in a future two-state solution is favored by the Biden administration but opposed by Mr Netanyahu’s coalition partners.
