PM Netanyahu to US Congress: Israel-Hamas war a 'clash between barbarism and civilisation'

Despite the thunderous applause greeting Netanyahu within the chamber, dozens of Congressional Democrats boycotted the speech and thousands of protesters demonstrated against the Israeli PM outside the US Capitol.
