Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) proudly brandished a sign calling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “war criminal” as he addressed Congress on Wednesday.
The opposite side of her sign read: “Guilty of Genocide.”
In his speech, Netanyahu lauded Israel’s war on Gaza, thanked both Biden and Trump for their support of Israel, condemned the assassination attempt on Trump and slammed pro-Palestine protesters.
Tlaib is the only Palestinian American in Congress. In addition to her protest, Tlaib put out a strongly worded statement on Tuesday ahead of Netanyahu’s speech, also calling him a “war criminal.”
