Defining the News
JERUSALEM—Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on Tuesday denied American media reports he will address the US Congress on June 13, amid mounting pressure to agree to a ceasefire with Hamas.
Netanyahu’s office stressed that the war sparked by the Oct. 7 attack would continue until all of Israel’s “goals are achieved,” including the destruction of Hamas’s military and governing capabilities. The rebuke from Schumer, the highest-ranking elected Jewish American in history, came amid expressions of dismay from the White House over the death toll in the conflict, sparked by the October 7 attacks by Hamas militants.
“Israel, of course, had the right to defend itself against the horrific Hamas terrorist attack of October 7, but it did not, and does not, have the right to go to war against the entire Palestinian people,” he added, calling Netanyahu a “war criminal.”
