Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
“America and Israel must stand together. When we stand together, something very simple happens: We win, they lose. I came here to assure you of one thing: We will win,” Netanyahu said as the majority of the chamber stood and applauded.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks to a joint meeting of Congress on Wednesday, July 24, 2024, at the Capitol in Washington. Some empty seats on one side of the chamber illustrated the progressives’ frustration with how Israel is handling the war, particularly when it comes to the Palestinian civilian death toll. The number of Palestinians killed since the start of the conflict has exceeded 39,000, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health. The toll cannot be verified and does not differentiate between civilians and fighters.
About 80 House Democrats and at least six Democratic senators skipped Netanyahu’s speech. Typically when foreign leaders address Congress, the U.S. vice president serves as the president of the Senate and sits behind the speaker. However, Vice President Kamala Harris, who is now the likely Democratic presidential nominee, was absent from the rostrum, citing a long-scheduled campaign stop in Indiana. She is expected to meet Thursday with Netanyahu.
“We meet today at a crossroads of history,” Netanyahu said. “Our world is in upheaval. In the Middle East, Iran’s axis of terror confronts America, Israel, and our Arab friends. This is not a clash of civilizations. It’s a clash between barbarism and civilization.”
