Sanders: It's sad to see Netanyahu being invited to address the US Congress
The senator of the state of Vermont in the United States has strongly criticized the leaders of the Congress of the country for inviting the "criminal" Prime Minister of the Israeli government, Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint session of the House of Representatives and the United States Senate.
Bernie Sanders has been quoted by the media as saying, "It is a sad day for our nation to see Benjamin Netanyahu being invited by leaders of both political parties (in the United States) to address Congress."
He has made it clear that, "Netanyahu is a war criminal, he does not deserve to be invited to address a joint session of the United States Congress. Of course I will not attend (the session)."
On Friday, the leaders of the Congress, including the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Republican party, Mike Johnson, the leader of the Democratic party, Hakeem Jeffries, the Leader of the Majority in the Senate, Chuck Schumer of the Democratic party, and his colleague of the Minority, Mitch McConnell Republicans invited Netanyahu to address a session of Congress; an invitation that the warlord Prime Minister has accepted.
News sources have told The Hill that Netanyahu will likely address Congress in the next eight weeks, or after the congressional recess in August.
Sanders, who is a left-wing American politician, has pointed out that Washington is responsible for the terrible killings that continue to be carried out by Israel against Palestinians in the besieged area of the Gaza Strip.
The independent US senator has been insisting that the Washington government is an accomplice in Israel's horrific crimes in the Gaza Strip due to its support for the regime that is occupying the Palestinian lands.
More than 36,000 Palestinians have been martyred so far and more than 80,000 others have been injured in the ongoing genocide by Israel in Gaza.
