Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to address a joint meeting of Congress on July 24. Last week, Congressional leaders extended a formal invitation to Netanyahu, which he graciously accepted. In response to the invitation, Netanyahu expressed his gratitude, stating, 'I am very moved to have the privilege of representing Israel before both houses of Congress and to present the truth about our just war against those who seek to destroy us to the representatives of the American people and the entire world.'
While some lawmakers are still deliberating on whether they will attend the address, there are expectations of notable absences. Senator Bernie Sanders has already declared that he will not be in attendance, citing Netanyahu as a 'war criminal.'
