Growing Number of Progressives Plan to Skip Netanyahu’s Address to Congress

A significant number of Democratic lawmakers plan to skip Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's upcoming address to Congress. This protest is led by progressive Senator Elizabeth Warren, who announced her intention to boycott the speech, citing Netanyahu's handling of the war in Gaza as the reason. She described Netanyahu's policies as having created a "humanitarian catastrophe." Joining her in this protest are Senator Bernie Sanders, Representatives Ro Khanna, Jim Clyburn, and dozens of other progressive lawmakers. Netanyahu's speech is scheduled for July 24th, but the anticipated absences from progressive Democrats signal deepening tensions over U.S. . .
