"I would now like for all of you to join me in a message to our brothers and sisters in Palestine. We see You. We see you. We hear you. We hear you. And we will raise your voices. Raise your voices. No one is free until everyone is free. No one is free until everyone is free. Liberation of Palestine."
STORYLINE:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks before Congress on Wednesday in hopes of bolstering U.S. support for continuing Israel’s offensives against Hamas and other adversaries.
But boycotts of his appearance by some Democratic lawmakers and crowds of protesters outside are highlighting how his hard-line government’s conduct of the devastating war in Gaza is opening fissures in longstanding American support for his country.
Actor Susan Sarandon spoke from the stage at a rally in Washington.
"No one is free until everyone is free. Liberation of Palestine," Sarandon told the crowd.
Tall steel barriers ringed entrances to the Capitol complex Wednesday, and security officers deployed by the score on foot, bicycle and with dogs. Overnight, hundreds of protesters organized by a Jewish group staged a sit-in at a congressional office building, crying, “Not in our name.”
Inside the Capitol, Netanyahu is assured a warm welcome from Republican lawmakers who arranged his speech in the House chamber, an appearance making him the first foreign leader to address a joint meeting of Congress four times, surpassing Winston Churchill.
