Elon Musk is an invited guest of Netanyahu in Washington | News in brief

Today, Netanyahu will address the US Congress in the evening Finnish time.

Billionaire Elon Musk has said that the Prime Minister of Israel will participate Benjamin Netanyahu as a guest at his speech in Washington, reports the news agencies Bloomberg and Reuters.

Today, Netanyahu will address the US Congress in the evening Finnish time.

Several Democratic congressional representatives have announced that they will skip Netanyahu’s speech, which divides opinion in the party. For example, the non-committal senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders has already announced that he will be absent from the event.

The US leadership is expected to use the visit to pressure Netanyahu to end the war in Gaza.

The families of the hostages held in Gaza have also put pressure on the prime minister to get a ceasefire agreement and the hostages to go home.

Thousands of people have gathered in Washington outside the US Capitol to demonstrate against Netanyahu. Protesters are also calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza war.
