On July 24, Israel's Prime Minister came to the US and addressed a joint session of Congress, receiving standing ovations. However, more than a dozen legislators boycotted the speech because they, as do millions throughout the world, consider him to be a genocidal war criminal.

On July 31st, Israel assassinated one of Hamas' chief negotiators in Iran, making the possibility of a ceasefire in Gaza even more remote. Most observers see Netanyahu as needing to continue the war to stay in power and avoid prosecution on corruption charges, trying to draw the US into a regional war involving Iran. Israel and the "Axis of Resistance," which includes Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis, continue to trade attacks and counterattacks with Israel. Tensions are rising.

Throughout Northern California and the US, demonstrations continue to demand Netanyahu's arrest and that the US stop enabling Israel's military as it kills Palestinians by the tens of thousands and destroys huge swaths of infrastructure in Gaza.
