Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington, D.C., has highlighted growing divisions within the Democratic Party regarding Israel's military actions in Gaza. As he prepares to address Congress, at least 21 Democratic lawmakers, including Vice President Kamala Harris and several prominent senators, plan to boycott the speech in protest of Netanyahu's policies, which they deem as contributing to a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. This reflects a significant shift in sentiment, as more Democrats now sympathize with Palestinians, with a majority believing Israel is committing genocide against civilians. Former President Donald Trump is set to welcome Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago, indicating a political shift as he frames his administration's past support for Israel as a benchmark for future stability in the region. Progressive voices within the party, including Rep. Rashida Tlaib, have vocally condemned Netanyahu, calling for accountability for his actions. The backlash against Netanyahu's address underscores the increasing tension between traditional Democratic support for Israel and a rising faction advocating for Palestinian rights.
