Calls for lawmakers to skip Netanyahu’s speech grow
Pressure is increasing on lawmakers to avoid attending Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s upcoming address to Congress.
A new coalition of civil society groups, including American Friends of Combatants for Peace and Win Without War, is organizing a protest in response to Netanyahu’s policies.
His war on Gaza has killed thousands of Palestinian children and civilians, and Israel has been accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice as a result.
The coalition criticizes Netanyahu for his role in escalating the war on Gaza and neglecting Israeli prisoners.
It is advocating for a message of safety, peace, and human rights for all Palestinians and Israelis.
The coalition plans to urge members of Congress to skip Netanyahu’s speech, hold community events with peace activists, and amplify the voices of those opposing Netanyahu’s leadership both in the region and around the world.
