Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to a joint-session of Congress Wednesday, vowing “total victory” against Hamas while calling for the creation of a new multi-national military alliance that would deal with Israel’s primary Middle East nemesis, Iran.
Netanyahu’s speech did not seem in any way designed to lead to progress in months of U.S.-led pressure for Israel to stop its offensive and agree to a cease-fire.
The AP reported that Netanyahu’s speech was interrupted by frequent applause from mostly GOP lawmakers, while it met with stony silence from many leading Democrats in the chamber.
Netanyahu said the U.S. has a shared interest in his country’s fight against Hamas and other Iran-backed terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah in Lebanon.
