Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address the US Congress on Wednesday, becoming the first foreign leader to do so four times. With mounting civilian casualties in Gaza and US-Israel tensions, Netanyahu will also meet President Joe Biden to discuss a potential ceasefire deal with Hamas. The October 7 Hamas attack killed 1,195 Israelis and led to the capture of 251 hostages. Israel's retaliatory strikes have claimed 38,919 lives in Gaza. Despite international criticism, the US continues to mediate and support Israel militarily.
