TEHRAN, July 24 (MNA)– Following the intensification of the international outcry against Israeli genocide in Gaza, 9 senators and 28 members of US House of Representatives publicly said that they would boycott Benjamin Netanyahu's speech in Congress.At least 300 protestors of Netanyahu's visit to the US Congress were arrested this morning, and the number of American lawmakers who have boycotted the Israeli Prime Minister's speech has increased.

Netanyahu's visit to the United States came in a situation where the Zionist regime's genocide against the people of Gaza still continues, and this issue has caused unprecedented protests against this regime in different regions of the United States.

“Prime Minister Netanyahu has created a humanitarian catastrophe,” Sen.

Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) told CNN last month.

“I’m not going.” “No, Netanyahu should not be welcomed into the US Congress,” Sen.

Bernie Sanders said Monday on social media.

“On the contrary, his policies in Gaza and the West Bank and his refusal to support a two-state solution should be roundly condemned,” Huffpost.com reported.
