Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-CA) referred to as on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to resign after his speech to Congress, which left many chilly.
Rep. Gomez stated:
Netanyahu’s speech to Congress falls brief, as have his actions since taking workplace, and I’m calling on him to resign instantly. I met with households of hostages as we speak they usually overwhelmingly had been crucial of Netanyahu and consider he’s not doing sufficient in service to their households and households throughout the area—I stand with them.
As I’ve stated earlier than, his strategy to this battle and his rejection of a two-state answer has led to unimaginable ache within the area, didn’t preserve his personal individuals safe and made us all much less protected. It’s previous time for all events to conform to a ceasefire to cease the civilian struggling in Gaza, carry the hostages house, finish this horrible battle and maintain these accountable for October seventh accountable.
We received’t be giving Netanyahu a platform on PoliticusUSA for his false statements, however Ben Rhodes posted:
Bibi speech described a actuality that doesn’t exist. Mendacity about chopping off entry to meals. Mendacity about civilian casualties. Avoiding accountability for 10/7 safety failure and diplomatic failure to carry hostages house. Searching for applause for unachievable navy goals.
Simply think about what this speech seems prefer to the remainder of the world – a pacesetter who might by no means even get this sort of reception in Israel given a platform to gaslight in Congress.
Hamas attacked Israel. The Israelis have a proper to defend themselves. What they don’t have a proper to do is what Netanyahu has finished within the identify of the individuals of Israel. There have been atrocities dedicated, not in opposition to Hamas, however in opposition to the civilians of Gaza. Netanyahu, like Trump, is an accused felony who’s attempting to evade prosecution by means of elected workplace.
Netanyahu ought to resign and have by no means been given a platform to deal with Congress.
