Sanders on Netanyahu Addressing Congress This Week: A Critical Stance

 WASHINGTON, July 22 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has made a powerful statement ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s upcoming address to a joint meeting of Congress. Sanders reaffirmed his decision to not attend the address scheduled for Wednesday, citing serious concerns about Netanyahu's actions.

Netanyahu


War Criminal Accusations Sanders aligns with the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the United Nations independent commission in labeling both Benjamin Netanyahu and Yahya Sinwar as war criminals. He strongly condemns Hamas, led by Sinwar, for initiating a brutal attack against Israel, resulting in the deaths of 1,200 innocent people and the taking of over 240 captives.

Condemnation of Netanyahu’s Actions In response to the initial attack, Netanyahu and his government have launched an extensive military campaign against the Palestinian people. This has led to the deaths of at least 39,000 Palestinians and injuries to 89,000 more, with women, children, and the elderly comprising 60% of the casualties. The ongoing conflict has decimated Gaza’s infrastructure, including housing, healthcare, and education systems. Sanders highlights the dire humanitarian crisis, noting that 495,000 people are facing catastrophic food insecurity due to restricted aid.

Netanyahu


Call for Accountability Sanders firmly believes that Netanyahu’s policies and refusal to support a two-state solution should be condemned. He argues that the U.S. should cease financial support to Netanyahu’s government, which he views as perpetuating the destruction and suffering in Gaza. Sanders’ statement underscores his stance that Netanyahu’s government should not be welcomed by the United States Congress.
