Netanyahu reportedly set to address Congress on July 24
Fox News
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to address a joint meeting of the U.S. Congress on July 24, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, along with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, signed the letter extending the invitation to Netanyahu. They said the offer was intended to "highlight America’s solidarity with Israel."
Netanyahu's appearance before a growingly divided Congress is sure to be contentious and met with plenty of protests both inside the Capitol from lawmakers and outside by pro-Palestinian protesters. And it will put on stark display the growing election-year divisions among Democrats over the prime minister’s prosecution of the monthslong war against Hamas.
