US Senator Bernie Sanders Calls Israeli PM Netanyahu a ‘War Criminal’.
Senator Bernie Sanders has criticized the invitation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the US Congress, calling him a “war criminal.” Sanders expressed his disappointment in a statement, stating that he will not attend the joint meeting of Congress where Netanyahu is scheduled to speak.
Sanders further condemned Netanyahu’s actions in Gaza, stating that Israel’s military operations have led to the deaths of thousands of civilians and the destruction of vital infrastructure. He emphasized that Netanyahu’s actions constitute clear violations of international law.
The invitation to Netanyahu was issued by bipartisan congressional leaders, despite Sanders’ strong objections. The Israeli Prime Minister has accepted the invitation and plans to address Congress to present Israel’s perspective on the ongoing conflict with Hamas.
Amid mounting criticism and a rising death toll in Gaza, Sanders’ refusal to attend the joint session highlights the growing international concern over the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the region.
