While asking his colleagues not to attend the speech of the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime in Congress, the senior American Democratic senator said that Netanyahu is one of the obstacles to peace in the Middle East and 70% of the Zionists want his resignation.

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Following the opposition to the speech of the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime Benjamin Netanyahu in the US Congress, a Democratic senator also commented on this matter.

Senior Democratic Senator Chris VanHolen said this morning (Wednesday): "Netanyahu formed a cabinet consisting of the most extreme ministers, including Smotrich and Benguir. "Netanyahu is evading accountability, especially after the major intelligence failure on October 7."

"Al-Jazeera" channel quoted Van Hollen as saying: "Polls show that 70 percent of Israelis want Netanyahu to resign now or after the war. Netanyahu's government uses the Greater Israel theory every day and encourages the settlers to evict the Palestinians.

Stating that he will not attend Netanyahu's speech in Congress, he explained: "I ask my colleagues to do the same. In his speech to Congress, Netanyahu will focus on the fact that the real danger in the region is Iran.

The Democratic senator continued: "There are many obstacles to peace in the Middle East, and Netanyahu is one of them. For lasting peace, the people of Palestine and Israel must have dignity and the right to self-determination.

According to this report, while emphasizing the need to end the Gaza war, Van Hollen stated: "We must return the prisoners and detainees, end the threat of Hamas and create hope for the Palestinians."

Al-Jazeera quoted him as saying: "The actions and policies of Netanyahu and his extremist partners affect relations with America." But the two-state solution will be a failure not only for Hamas, but also for Smotrich, Benguir and Netanyahu.

The American senator also added: "I want the Biden administration to impose more sanctions to include all those responsible for fueling attacks against Palestinians."
