Thousands of protesters descend on ‘Fort Netanyahu’ as the Israeli PM addresses the US Congress
Demonstrators march outside of the U.S. Capitol as they protest the visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Capitol Hill, July 24, 2024, in Washington
THOUSANDS of protesters descended on “Fort Netanyahu” as Israel’s prime minister addressed the United States Congress on Wednesday.
The far-right Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu made it clear that he was only interested in a ceasefire in the fighting in Gaza if Hamas surrenders, disarms and releases all hostages it is holding.
But Mr Netanyahu said that Israel would continue to fight indefinitely until it destroys the group’s military capabilities and brings home all hostages.
