Netanyahu begs US Congress for swift weapon supply annihilate Hamas
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has implored the Joe Biden administration to expedite the delivery of additional weapons to Israel.
Netanyahu emphasized that accelerated military support would enable Israel to swiftly conclude its ongoing conflict with Hamas militants in Gaza.
“America has our back, give us the tools faster, and we’ll finish the job faster,” Netanyahu asserted, underscoring the unwavering support from the United States. He highlighted the reciprocal nature of the US-Israel alliance, where American military assistance has been met with critical intelligence contributions from Israel, potentially saving countless lives.
“May God bless Israel, may God bless America, and may God bless the great alliance between Israel and America forever,” he proclaimed, reinforcing the enduring bond between the two nations.
However, Netanyahu’s speech was not without controversy. His pointed remarks towards anti-war protesters, whom he referred to as “Iran’s useful idiots,” sparked significant backlash. Netanyahu’s accusation suggested that these protesters were indirectly supported by the Iranian government, a claim that comes amidst allegations of Iran funding anti-Israel protests in the US.
The scene outside the Capitol was equally charged. SaharaReporters detailed the arrest of five individuals by US Capitol Police for disrupting Netanyahu’s speech. The demonstration, which saw thousands gather in Washington, escalated as protesters attempted to breach the Capitol’s perimeter, prompting police to deploy pepper spray.
US Capitol Police reported on X, “Part of the crowd has started to become violent at First Street and Constitution Avenue, NW. The crowd failed to obey our order to move back from our police line. We are deploying pepper spray towards anyone trying to break the law and cross that line.”
The police confirmed a total of six arrests for unlawful conduct, highlighting the volatile atmosphere surrounding Netanyahu’s visit and the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The intense emotions and deep divisions were palpable, underscoring the contentious nature of Netanyahu’s plea for increased US military support.
