Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will present “Israel’s justness and the heroism of its soldiers” during his speech to the US Congress tomorrow, according to an official in the premier’s entourage.
He will also discuss Israel’s efforts to free all of the hostages held in Gaza and to achieve “total victory” over Hamas, says the official.
Netanyahu “will present in his speech the challenge facing Israel, countries in the region and the US from Iran’s axis of evil, and will present a new way to deal with this challenge,” the official says.
The prime minister is currently writing his speech.
