The top four congressional leaders have extended a formal invitation to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint meeting of Congress. The invitation, signed by House Speaker Mike Johnson, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, expresses solidarity with Israel in its struggle against terror, particularly highlighting the ongoing situation with Hamas.
The letter does not specify a date for the address, but it comes amidst discussions about additional military aid to Israel and internal divisions within the Democratic Party regarding Israel's actions against Hamas.
