Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu recalled Hamas’ October 7 attacks and said Israel and the US must unite against “barbarism” in a speech to US Congress. He also touched on a vision for post-war Gaza.
Netanyahu called on the United States to fast-track military aid to his country to help end the war in Gaza.
“I deeply appreciate America’s support, including in this current war. But this is an exceptional moment. Fast-tracking US military aid could dramatically expedite an end to the war in Gaza and help prevent a broader war in the Middle East,” Netanyahu told the US Congress.
“Give us the tools faster and we’ll finish the job faster,” he said, echoing British Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s famous appeal to the Americans during World War II to be given the tools to finish the job of defeating Nazi Germany.
Netanyahu said Israel would remain an “indispensable” ally, “loyal friend” and “steadfast partner” of the United States “through thick and thin.”
