Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received 26 standing ovations during his address to a joint session of the U.S. Congress. Despite President Obama's public call for a return to 1967 borders, Congress showed overwhelming support for Netanyahu's refusal to do so. The event is characterized as a "distraction of the week" and political theater.

### Teleprompter Errors and Partisan Reactions During Presidential Speech

Technical observations of the President's speech note several teleprompter "flubs" and repeated lines, attributed to last-minute script changes. The visual contrast between the constant standing ovations from Democrats and the stoic, arms-folded reaction of Republicans like John Boehner is highlighted as a product of slanted network camera work.
