Republicans in Congress largely remained silent and did not applaud when Israeli President Isaac Herzog mentioned how Israel holds one of the largest gay pride parades in Tel Aviv after giving him numerous applauses throughout his joint address to Congress on Wednesday.
Mr Herzog spoke to Congress to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Israel’s founding and received rapturous applause from both sides of the aisle as he spoke about bipartisan support for Israel, criticised those who seek to delegitimise Israel as antisemitic and spoke about the mutual national security interests of the United States and Israel.
