Sánchez condemns Netanyahu’s speech

WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez (D-CA) released the following statement on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s joint address to Congress:

“I attended Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech in hopes of hearing some path forward to peace. Instead, all Congress got was more justification for his administration’s disproportional response in Gaza.

“Netanyahu continues to use the atrocities of October 7th to wage a war that has resulted in the mass casualty of Palestinian civilians, jeopardizing the two-state solution and any chance for lasting peace.

“I remain committed to a ceasefire and call on Hamas to release the remaining hostages. But that will only happen through meaningful dialogue and diplomacy, not more fiery rhetoric like we heard today.”
