Netanyahu's speech in the US Congress drew mixed reactions; it underscored key US-Israel relations and proposed an Israel-Saudi alliance
After Prime Minister Netanyahu's address to the US Congress and Hezbollah's attack on Israel, Rabbi Warren Goldstein said Israel “must act now and act alone” to destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
Readers of The Jerusalem Post have their say.
The torture of terrorist prisoners who no longer pose a threat or have information that is critical to preventing an act of terror is bad.
For Netanyahu, the visit was a missed opportunity for a reset with the Democrats, and with Republicans, it further cemented the increasingly close relationship.
In retrospect, it would have been preferable for Netanyahu to have been in Israel last Saturday, when the fatal Hezbollah rocket attack on Majdal Shams that killed 12 children took place.
Palestinian Islamic Jihad also responded to Netanyahu's address to Congress on Telegram, also stating that his speech was "full of lies and fabrications."
“This is not a clash of civilizations,” he said to applause at the opening, describing a world in upheaval. “It’s a clash between barbarism and civilization.”
This meeting follows Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to a joint Congress session on Wednesday, in which many of the hostage relatives were also in attendance.
