Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday said he was still “committed” to a US-backed proposal as he faced anger from hostages' families over a recent Israeli attack in Bani Suheila that resulted in the deaths of at least eight people. The attack occurred as desperate Palestinians gathered for aid dispersal, further intensifying the already volatile situation in the region.

While some Democrats are saying they will attend Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress, a larger and growing faction has chosen to boycott the speech in protest of Netanyahu's handling of the recent conflict. Netanyahu's unwavering stance on destroying Hamas has drawn criticism from some US lawmakers, with President Joe Biden expressing frustrations with Netanyahu in a recent interview.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's upcoming address to US lawmakers in Washington DC on July 24th has sparked controversy and debate. Congressional leaders announced the event on Thursday, with tensions running high as Netanyahu continues to defend Israel's military actions in the region.

Mossad chief's arrival in Doha to resume cease-fire talks and an aid ship unloading its cargo in Deir Al-Balah have added to the complexity of the situation. Attacks in the region have led to further casualties and humanitarian crises, further straining relations between Israel and its neighbors.

In his first threat to withhold U.S. military aid, President Biden acknowledged the role of American bombs in the conflict and expressed concerns over Netanyahu's leadership. The Biden administration's stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been met with both support and criticism, highlighting the complexities of the situation.

“As a lifelong supporter of Israel, it has become clear to me: The Netanyahu coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel after Oct. 7,” the New York Times reported. Calls for a change in leadership have grown louder as the conflict continues to escalate, with many questioning Netanyahu's ability to lead effectively.

The ongoing tensions between Israel and Palestine have raised concerns about national security and international relations. Netanyahu's address to Congress is seen as a crucial moment in shaping the future of the region, with both supporters and critics closely watching his every move.
