House Speaker Mike Johnson has extended an invitation to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress in the near future. However, for this to become an official address, it requires approval from the Democratic majority leader of the U.S. Senate, Chuck Schumer.
Schumer, who has previously referred to Netanyahu as an obstacle to peace, finds himself in a challenging position. Some Democrats have criticized Netanyahu for his actions during the recent conflict with Hamas, labeling him as responsible for a humanitarian crisis.
