Israel's Netanyahu speaks to US Congress amid protests

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says America and Israel must stand together as he is addressing both chambers of the US Congress for a record fourth time.
 
He recalled the attacks by Hamas of October 7, calling it a day that will live in infamy.
 
About 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage that day.
 
Prime Minister Netanyahu thanked President Joe Biden for standing with Israel - saying his support will never be forgotten.
 
Thousands of protesters are outside the US Capitol building in Washington, demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, as well as calling for Mr. Netanyahu himself to be arrested.
 
Five people were arrested Wednesday afternoon and police used pepper spray on protesters on the streets of Washington DC.
 
Prime Minister Netanyahu blasted the demonstrators, calling them Iran's useful idiots.
 
Some Democratic Party lawmakers have made clear their opposition to his address and have not attended the session.
 
The Prime Minister's speech comes nine months into Israel's campaign in Gaza.

According to the Hamas run health ministry, more than 39,000 people have been killed in Gaza.
