Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to speak at a joint meeting of Congress in Washington next month, sparking a divide among Democrats regarding attendance. While Republicans are largely in support of Netanyahu addressing Congress, Democrats are facing internal discord that could potentially fracture the party.
Some progressive members, including Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, have announced their decision not to attend the address, citing concerns about aligning with Netanyahu's views. On the other hand, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries have approved the invitation for Netanyahu, along with other key figures in Congress.
