Protests outside the U.S. Capitol against Netanyahu's arrival and his speech to the Senate
Activists protest outside the U.S. Capitol against the arrival of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his speech in the Senate. Experts link this to recent threats by Hamas and accusations of provocations by Israel.
Activists protesting against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the U.S. Capitol and his upcoming speech in the Senate are now protesting outside the U.S. Capitol.
Experts link two events: the appearance of a video where a man claiming to be a Hamas representative speaks about the upcoming attacks during the Olympic Games in Paris because of France's support for Israel, and Netanyahu's speech before the U.S. Congress.
Analysts say the first event could be a provocation by Israel to convince the world community of the terrorist nature of Hamas. The actions coincide with an appearance by Netanyahu, who is wanted by an international court, before Congress, where he will defend Israel's actions toward the Palestinians, claiming it is a response to Hamas threats.
Analysts suggest that Israel, which has lost support in public opinion, is taking such steps to show the world the threat from Hamas and justify its actions against the Palestinians. The near future will show how true these assumptions are.
