The American protests against Netanyahu's presence in the US,
the New York Times' report on Netanyahu's weakness, the escalation of
tensions in the Occupied Territories over Netanyahu, and the
intensification of differences among Israeli politicians are some of the
recent news surrounding this highly hated figure, which we review in
this Pars Today news package:
Widespread boycott of Netanyahu's speech in the US Congress
According to Al Jazeera, Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of the Zionist regime, delivered a speech in the US Congress amid public outrage over the bloody war in Gaza and the genocide of Palestinians that has led to a widespread boycott of the event by US lawmakers.
He is expected to meet with US President Joe Biden on Thursday, although there are reports of a possible meeting with Trump, but it is not yet clear if it will take place.
Protest rally by American jews before Netanyahu's speech
According to ISNA, the "Jews for Stopping Arms Sales to Israel" coalition held a protest rally inside the US Congress on Tuesday, demanding an end to the Gaza war and the supply of arms to the Zionist regime.
The protesters entered the Congress building and staged a sit-in in protest of Netanyahu's speech. They chanted slogans about freedom for Palestine, an end to the Gaza war, and an end to the arming of the Zionist regime.
Congress security forces intervened to disperse the protesters, arresting several of them.
Protesters against the Gaza war also gathered in front of the hotel where Netanyahu is staying in Washington, calling him a "war criminal". The anti-war group "Code Pink" also staged a protest in front of Netanyahu's residence and on the steps of the US Congress building, demanding the arrest of the Israeli Prime Minister for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Bernie Sanders: Inviting Netanyahu to speak in Congress is shameful
According to the Associated Press, Senator Bernie Sanders said on Wednesday that inviting Netanyahu to speak in Congress is shameful. He emphasized that the International Criminal Court may soon issue an arrest warrant for Netanyahu.
