Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departed for the United States on Sunday, for what he termed an "historic" mission.
Netanyahu will on Tuesday address Congress in a speech he has said will criticize the current agreement being drafted by world powers on Iran's nuclear program.
"I'm going on a crucial and historic mission," Netanyahu said before his departure. "I feel I am the representative of all Israel, even those who disagree with me. I feel a deep concern for the fate of Israel. I will do everything to guarantee our future."
