Mr Netanyahu is set to meet Joe Biden and address a joint session of Congress, the only foreign leader to do so for a fourth time.
The trip offers him a platform for a reset with Washington after months of tensions over his hardline approach to the war.
But the visit is overshadowed by President Biden’s decision not to seek re-election, highlighting political uncertainties about Israel’s next partner in the White House.
The prime minister got a lot of unwelcome attention in Israel until the moment he boarded the plane.
A drumbeat of protests demanded that he stay home and focus on a ceasefire deal with Hamas to free Israeli hostages.

Lets be serious: Nobody is actually pressuring Netanyahu to end the massacre of Gaza. This is not a war.

It's time for our taxes to invest in our own country and people. We pay for their free health care, why not our own.

Arrest Netanyahu!

Empty talk to kick the can down the road until objectives are complete. Israeli politicians will never agree to a ceasefire. Government with a deal, or a deal with a Government!

- Netanyahu let the attack happen on his own country, despite knowing about the attack 3 days before it happened. - Music festival was organised with lot of foreigners just 3 miles away from the border. On whose order? - Music festival was extended by one day as the attack did not happen when it was thought to happen. On whose order? - Noticing that music festival casualty were less, used IDF to increase the casualties in the music festival. On whose order?

“He looked on in silence at the proof of what Israelis already know, that their history is contrived from the bones and traditions of Palestinians. The Europeans who came knew neither hummus nor falafel but later proclaimed them authentic Jewish cuisine." They claimed the villas of Qatamon as "old Jewish homes". They had no old photographs or ancient drawings of their ancestry living on the land, loving it, and planting it. They arrived from foreign nations and uncovered coins in Palestine's earth from the Canaanites, the Romans, the ottomans, then sold them as their own "ancient Jewish artifacts." They came to Jaffa and found oranges the size of watermelons and said, "Behold! The Jews are known for their oranges." But those oranges were the culmination of centuries of Palestinian farmers perfecting the art of citrus growing.”

He's technically the President of the United states but not actually. Also, Bibi doesn't care anyway.
