Netanyahu Shifts Focus To Iran In Congress Address

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu addresses a ceremony marking Memorial Day in Jerusalem

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a speech to Congress, highlighting the pressing issue of Iran's nuclear ambitions. In a departure from his 2015 address, Netanyahu wasted no time in addressing the threat posed by Iran's 'axis of terror' in the Middle East.

Netanyahu emphasized the critical juncture at which the world finds itself, with upheaval in various regions. He underscored the shared challenge faced by the United States, Israel, and their Arab allies in countering Iran's destabilizing activities.

Comparisons were drawn to Netanyahu's 2015 speech, where he initially focused on expressing gratitude for the support extended by the US, particularly during the 2014 conflict. It was only later in that address that he pivoted to the central theme of opposing the Iran nuclear deal pursued by the Obama administration.
