Tlaib displayed two signs during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress on Wednesday.
Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib sent a clear message during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address on Wednesday.
Netanyahu arrived in Washington, D.C., and delivered a highly-anticipated speech to Congress on Wednesday. Several Democrats had voiced their opposition to Netanyahu’s arrival by declaring they wouldn’t attend his address. Tlaib took a different approach to protest the Israeli leader.
The Michigan lawmaker drew attention during the address when she raised signs reading « war criminal » and « guilty of genocide » throughout the speech, Newsweek reporter Alex Rouhandeh noted on X, formerly Twitter.
