Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu labeled pro-Palestine protesters as "Iran's useful idiots" during his fourth address to the US Congress, receiving a standing ovation despite a boycott by over 60 Democratic lawmakers. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Kamala Harris were among the notable absentees. Netanyahu's speech emphasized Iran's role in Middle Eastern terrorism and praised former President Donald Trump for his support of Israel. Outside, protesters demanded an end to US military aid to Israel, facing police intervention. Netanyahu is set to meet President Joe Biden, Vice President Harris, and Trump during his visit.
