Netanyahu Defends Gaza War

Netanyahu seeks to shore up support for war

Calls it a clash between barbarism and civilization

WASHINGTON (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking to shore up support for the war in Gaza as some lawmakers say they will skip his address to Congress on Tuesday.

Netanyahu returned to Iran later in his speech, repeating some familiar lines saying the country was “virtually behind all terrorism, turmoil, chaos and killing in the Middle East.”
