Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a joint session of Congress on July 24 for the fourth time, speaking of “the deep historical ties between Israel and the U.S.” He centered his remarks on the Hamas-led attack that took place on Oct. 7 in southern Israel, which killed around 1,200 people and resulted in hundreds more taken hostage. Meanwhile, outside the Capitol, thousands protested, voicing frustration and outrage at the government’s military campaign into the Gaza Strip and Netanyahu’s failure to bring the hostages home.    AP Photo/J.
