The U.S. should invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House for an official visit, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy said on Monday, as a customary invitation has not been extended in the five months since Netanyahu's election.
"I expect the White House to invite the prime minister over for a meeting, especially with the 75th anniversary," McCarthy, who is leading a bipartisan delegation to Israel, told a press conference in Jerusalem, referring to Israel's marking the 75th anniversary of its independence this year.
