This marks Netanyahu's first address to US lawmakers in nearly a decade and comes in the wake of İsraeli genocidal aggression following Hamas' operation on October 7.
Netanyahu's speech coincides with a tumultuous period in US politics, as the Biden administration pushes for a ceasefire agreement to end the genocide in Gaza, where over 39,000 people have been killed, according to Gaza Health Ministry.
"My friends, I came to assure you today of one thing: We will win," Netanyahu claimed. "For the forces of civilization to triumph, America and Israel must stand together."
The conflict, which began in response to the al-Aqsa Storm operation by Gaza’s resistance groups, has resulted in the deaths of at least 39,670 Palestinians, primarily women and children. Despite the heavy military assault, Israel has not achieved its goal of ousting the resistance from Gaza.
Resistance groups from Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen have launched retaliatory attacks against Israeli targets, supporting Gazans under siege. These actions were highlighted in a video accompanying a social media post earlier this week, which criticized Israel’s response to the conflict.
The post condemned the Israeli military's actions as "the worst crimes" being committed "before the eyes of the world," accusing the regime of taking out its frustrations on Palestinian civilians by bombing people, schools, hospitals, children, and women. (ILKHA)
