Senior House Democrat 'disappointed' Netanyahu did not lay out post-war plan for Gaza

The top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee said he was "disappointed" by Netanyahu’s speech.

Congressman Gregory Meeks, who attended the speech, said Netanyahu failed to lay out a realistic plan for post-war Gaza.

“I am deeply frustrated that Prime Minister Netanyahu’s address to Congress offered little to explain what he will do to end the war and the suffering,” Meeks said.

He also said Netanyahu refused to implement a US and UN-backed ceasefire agreement, putting him at odds with the Biden administration, which has regularly said Hamas is the one preventing a deal.

“The Prime Minister refuses to implement President Biden’s widely accepted proposal that would lead to a ceasefire, bring the hostages home, and allow for a new surge of humanitarian assistance into Gaza”.
