Disgraceful role of Congress during Netanyahu’s visit to US

American politicians’ indifference to the innocent lives lost in the besieged Gaza Strip reflects a lack of humanity and decency, contrasting with public sentiment. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the US aimed to capitalize on the gap between the Republican and Democratic conventions and rekindle ties with former President Donald Trump, known for his pro-Israel stance. The main purpose of Netanyahu’s visit to the US was to gain attention during the interval between the national conventions of the Republican and Democratic parties and to re-establish ties with Trump, whom Netanyahu met on Friday. Trump, during his first term, had given Netanyahu the green light to build more Jewish settlements and had pleased Tel Aviv by signing an executive order to cancel the nuclear deal with Iran unilaterally. Following an assassination attempt on him, Trump stated that Israeli forces should be allowed to
finish the job.
Trump wants to withdraw the US from Gaza and Ukraine. The American public’s attitude towards the ruthless killer is different from that of politicians’. The public is not ready to welcome him with hypocritical smiles, as evidenced by the severe criticism of Netanyahu’s visit to Washington seen on social media.
