US Senator Bernie Sanders: “Netanyahu is a War Criminal’

US Democratic Senator Nancy Pelosi described Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Wednesday speech as “by far the worst presentation of any foreign dignitary” ever at US Congress according to Al Quds News Network.

“Benjamin Netanyahu’s presentation in the House Chamber today was by far the worst presentation of any foreign dignitary invited and honored with the privilege of addressing the Congress of the United States,” she wrote on X.

US Senator Bernie Sanders also called Netanyahu a “war criminal” and a “liar” following his speech, accusing him of coming “to Congress to campaign.”

On Wednesday, Netanyahu delivered his fourth address to the Congress, as he attempted to drum up continued support for the genocide war in Gaza.

As US legislators clapped for Netanyahu during his speech, activists outside called for him to be tried for abuses linked to Israel’s war in Gaza.

Many activists said that Netanyahu is a war criminal who belongs in jail, not in the halls of Congress.

The demonstrators held effigies of a blood-stained Netanyahu, waved Palestinian flags and chanted “free Palestine” as the Israeli prime minister spoke.

Dozens of lawmakers boycotted Netanyahu’s address, echoing concerns voiced by the demonstrators according to the Quds News Network.

Before the end of the 19th century, the area had few landmarks, including the cemetery and some monasteries. The Mamilla area witnessed rapid urban changes during the British Mandate period as part of British policies to design neighborhoods according to the European style. These changes continued after the Israeli occupation of the city, which continued to alter the character of Arab Jerusalem, a process that continues to this day. The Mamilla neighborhood, or Mamilla, was home to one of the most important modern wholesale and retail markets in the city during the Mandate period…
