Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a contentious speech to the U.S. Congress, emphasizing the need for 'total victory' in Gaza and criticizing American anti-war protesters, whom he labeled 'useful idiots.' His address was boycotted by many Democratic lawmakers, while thousands of protesters demonstrated outside, leading to several arrests. Netanyahu's speech came amid critical negotiations on a potential ceasefire-for-hostages deal, which he scarcely mentioned. In related developments, President Biden and Vice President Harris are set to meet Netanyahu to discuss bridging the remaining gaps in the ceasefire talks. The White House condemned the violent actions of some protesters, while Netanyahu's remarks received mixed reactions from U.S. lawmakers, highlighting the deep political divides over the Gaza conflict.
