Netanyahu to Congress: Unite Against Iran's Terror

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu forcefully defended Israel’s military campaign in Gaza during an address on Wednesday to a joint meeting of Congress, in which he praised the Israeli-American alliance and sought to portray the war as a battle between good and evil, civilization and barbarism.

Mr.

Netanyahu said the war against Hamas was part of a larger conflict between Iran and the United States, and he said America must stand with Israel to defend their common values.

“My friends, if you remember one thing, one thing from this speech, remember this,” Mr. Netanyahu said. “Our enemies are your enemies. Our fight is your fight. And our victory will be your victory.”He also lavished praise on both President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump.

He largely avoided talking about differences of opinion between himself and President Biden and instead directed anger at antiwar protesters, whom he accused of sympathizing with terrorists and acting as “Iran’s useful idiots.”
