Netanyahu to Address Congress Amidst Democratic Opposition
Congressional Leaders Extend Invitation
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been invited to deliver an address to Congress on July 24, 2023. The leaders of Congress, Republican Party members Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell, extended the invitation, hoping it would demonstrate a strong bond during wartime.
Vice President Harris Excludes Herself
Vice President Kamala Harris has indicated that she will not preside over or attend Netanyahu's address due to opposition among Democratic Party members to his conduct in office. Despite the Democratic Party's objections, Netanyahu's address is expected to be a significant event.
Alterations to Address Format
Netanyahu's address is expected to differ in format from previous speeches given by foreign leaders in Congress. The changes are reportedly due to the Democratic Party's skepticism of Netanyahu's leadership.
