The moves comes more than a week after House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that Netanyahu would speak at the Capitol, as Breitbart News reported.
“The existential challenges we face, including the growing partnership between Iran, Russia and China, threaten the security, peace and prosperity of our countries and of free people around the world,” Johnson, R-La., Senate majority leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in the brief letter of invitation, UPI reports.
Schumer has previously called for Israel to hold new elections to replace Netanyahu, claiming Israel’s leader had “lost his way.”
