Families of Israeli captives reportedly arrested for wearing shirts calling for deal to bring them home
Netanyahu praised the families of captives held in Gaza, a group that has consistently expressed frustration with Netanyahu back in Israel but figure prominently in his messaging overseas.
Several reporters who cover Israel reported that relatives of captives were arrested for wearing shirts calling for a deal that would bring the remaining captives home, an effort critics of Netanyahu have accused him of working to sabotage.
Republican House Leader Mike Johnson had previously warned that anyone who attempted to disrupt Netanyahu’s speech could face arrest.
