House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that he had a conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to coordinate a date for the Israeli leader to deliver a joint address to Congress. Johnson mentioned that a formal letter would be sent out during the week to finalize the arrangements for the address. He also expressed his optimism that Chuck Schumer would be co-signing the letter, a development that had been anticipated since mid-March.
Johnson stated that they had been eagerly awaiting Schumer's signature and believed that it would be secured now. The Speaker emphasized their willingness to accommodate the Prime Minister's schedule and host him at a time that is convenient for Netanyahu.
