WHAT WE KNOW
1. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took a defiant stance in his address to the US Congress on Wednesday. He urged the US and Israel to unite in support of the war in Gaza while criticizing opponents and Iran. He referred to anti-war protesters, some of whom gathered in Washington, DC, for his speech, as “Iran’s useful idiots.”
2. In his speech, Netanyahu pledged to bring hostages back from Gaza but did not provide details on the status of ceasefire talks with Hamas. This comes as the death toll in the enclave approaches 40,000, according to the health ministry.
3. U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris did not attend Netanyahu’s speech, along with around 80 House Democrats and several Democratic senators, according to sources and public statements. Instead, Harris is scheduled to meet with the Israeli leader on Thursday.
4. Separately, Netanyahu and President Joe Biden will meet at the White House Thursday, where the two leaders will speak with US families of hostages still held in Gaza.
