Protesters Gather Near US Capitol to Oppose Netanyahu’s Congress Address
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Washington on Monday for a series of meetings, including with President Joe Biden on Thursday and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday. He is also due to address a joint session of Congress on Wednesday night.
Sputnik is live from Washington DC as peace and pro-Palestine activists gather around the Capitol building to protest against the visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the US Congress.
The demonstrators express their opposition to US support for Israel’s actions in Gaza, which they describe as “genocide.” The protest coincides with Netanyahu’s address to US lawmakers, an invitation that activists argue tarnishes the legacy of the 118th Congress.
