There are concerns among organisers that similar protests are expected during his latest visit.
“I am the leader in the United States senate in attempting to block military aid to Netanyahu and the horrific war against the people of Gaza. So I have no apologies to be made. I’m leading that effort and proud of the work that we are doing,” he told The Irish Times.
