Netanyahu defends Israel's conduct in war against Hamas to Congress | DW Analysis

Benjamin Netanyahu has promised to continue the war in Gaza and called on the United States to stand united with Israel.

Addressing a joint session of Congress, the Israeli prime minister defended his country's conduct of the war - as protesters gathered outside to demand an end to the conflict. Mr Netanyahu was met with standing ovations from most of the chamber, despite boycotts from many Democratic lawmakers.

Netanyahu blamed Iran and its proxies of fomenting instability across the Middle East - and said he would do whatever it takes to protect Israel.
