Israel's Herzog sharply addresses criticism from House members after Squad member's remarks

Israeli President Isaac Herzog gave a thinly veiled rebuke to members of the House of Representatives for their attacks on Israel during his speech Wednesday at a joint session of Congress.

Herzog did not name names, but he referenced criticism of Israel from House members. More than one progressive Democrat recently vilified the Jewish state in public statements.

"Mr. Speaker, I am not oblivious to criticism among friends, including some expressed by respected members of this House. I respect criticism, especially from friends, although one does not always have to accept it," Herzog said.
