Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress on July 24

Washington — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address a joint meeting of Congress on July 24, multiple sources told CBS News. 

The top four leaders of the House and Senate formally invited Netanyahu last week "to share the Israeli government's vision for defending democracy, combatting terror, and establishing a just and lasting peace in the region. But the invitation did not specify a date. 

There was brief confusion about the date on Monday, when Punchbowl News reported that the address would happen June 13. House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, later said the proposed date conflicted with a Jewish holiday. The Jewish holiday Shavuot ends on June 13.
