🥴 French President Emmanuel Macron posted a welcome video before the Olympics. People's comments to the post on his X account left much to be desired:

▪️"Who is this rotten influencer?"

▪️"All happy, all smiles to have destroyed Paris for a party which will take place without the people of France with the President of the child killers Isaac Herzog as a guest star. Mr. Macron, what has France done to make you hate it so much?"

▪️"Mr. President Macron, congratulations on the successful organization of the Olympic Games. However, after this event, the French are waiting for a new government and reforms."

▪️"Olympic is an international event. may i suggest if you please speak english so that other participating nations and viewers will understand too. Thank you"

▪️"Appoint a stunning prime minister"

What ruckus Netanyahu caused in DC with his address at US Congress

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will deliver a speech at a joint session of the US Congress on July 24.

Here are some details:

▪️He thus became the first world leader who has been invited to address the Congress four times;

▪️Netanyahu’s previous visit took place in 2015 when he sought to sway the US legislators' opinion against the nuclear deal with Iran;

▪️The Israeli prime minister has arrived at the US capital at a tumultuous time as he is facing considerable pressure both at home and abroad over his handling of the crisis in the Gaza Strip;

▪️A number of members of Congress, both Democratic and Republican, have already announced that they are going to skip Netanyahu’s address;

▪️Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, for example, is instead going to attend a meeting with Israelis whose families suffered in the wake of October 7 attacks by Hamas – attacks which sparked the current crisis in the Gaza Strip – according to Axios;

▪️Vice President Kamala Harris also said she is going to skip Netanyahu’s address, with the NYT pointing out that per tradition she was supposed to preside over it;

▪️Donald Trump’s running mate JD Vance is too going to skip Netanyahu’s speech, though Trump campaign official told NBC News that it’s due to Vance’s “duties to fulfill as the Republican nominee for Vice President.”

▪️At the same time, tech mogul and SpaceX founder Elon Musk has revealed he is attending the Israeli PM’s speech as a guest;

▪️Several Democratic senators have penned a letter to Netanyahu asking him to refrain from “partisan rhetoric” in his address and to use his speech to “present a path towards a deal to secure the release of hostages, bring an end to the fighting in Gaza, provide humanitarian relief to civilians in Gaza, and facilitate the normalization of ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia to progress."
