Sanders: Netanyahu is a war criminal and should not be invited to America.
US Senator Bernie Sanders announced in a message on X social network that “Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and he should not be invited to speak in the US Congress, I will definitely not participate in this meeting.”
Claiming that “Israel has the right to defend itself against the attacks of Hamas,” this American senator added, “But Israel does not have the right to wage war against the entire Palestinian people.”
He further wrote: Israel has no right to kill more than 34,000 civilians, no right to orphan 19,000 children, no right to destroy Gaza’s healthcare system, and shut down 26 hospitals. and killed more than 400 health care workers.”
Bernie Sanders also added that he defends the order of the International Criminal Court (The Hague) to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu.
Despite the possibility of issuing an arrest warrant for the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime by the Hague Court, in early June, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives announced that we will soon host Benjamin Netanyahu in the Congress session.
The Speaker of the US House of Representatives has said that the Israeli Prime Minister will be hosted at the joint session of the Congress. The joint meeting of the Congress will mean the joint meeting of the members of the US Senate and the House of Representatives, and it is one of the highest levels of welcoming foreign leaders in America.
The Speaker of the US House of Representatives also added that 7 committees of the House and Congress are investigating the universities where anti-Semitism has been observed. Probably, the Speaker of the House of Representatives is referring to the American universities where protests in support of Palestine have been held.
The hosting of Netanyahu by the US Congress takes place while US President Joe Biden has also reacted to the Hague Court’s possible verdict for Netanyahu’s arrest and has emphasized that the US does not recognize the jurisdiction of this court. Biden also claimed that we believe there is no similarity between what Israel did and what Hamas did.
Unlike the United States, some European governments, including Germany, have announced that they have accepted the judgment of the Hague Tribunal against the Zionist regime, and on this basis, the Zionist authorities have become extremely disappointed and angry with the German government’s position regarding the issuance of an arrest warrant for Netanyahu.
Last week, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court accused the Prime Minister and Minister of War of the Zionist regime of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip and using starvation as a weapon of war against civilians in Gaza.
