Netanyahu briefs visiting members of US Congress on Gaza war
By Nava Freiberg
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met earlier today with a bipartisan delegation from the United States House Intelligence Committee, the Prime Minister’s Office says in a statement.
Mossad chief David Barnea, and US Congressmen Rick Crawford, Josh Gottheimer and Ronny Jackson were present at the meeting, adds the PMO, without providing further details.
In a separate statement, the PMO says that Netanyahu met yesterday evening with an AIPAC-organized delegation of Republican US members of Congress.
Netanyahu “briefed the members of Congress on the war in the Gaza Strip and commented on the issue of the humanitarian assistance and the mendacious campaign being waged by Hamas against Israel,” according to the PMO.
The premier “also referred to the efforts to release our hostages, and answered questions… on regional issues and expanding the Abraham Accords,” the 2020-2021 series of normalization agreements between Israel and four Muslim-majority states, adds the PMO.
