WATCH: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivers speech to Congress

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel’s war in Gaza and condemned American protesters in a scathing speech to Congress Wednesday that triggered boycotts by many top Democratic lawmakers and drew thousands to the Capitol to condemn the war and the humanitarian crisis it has created.

Outside, police deployed pepper spray as a large crowd protesting Israel’s war in Gaza marched toward the U.S. Capitol.
