Nearly 50 members of Congress have decided not to attend Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech scheduled for Wednesday. The count reveals that 39 House members and nine Senators have been named as not attending. Additionally, it has been reported that more than 80 House Democrats are expected to boycott the speech, as estimated by Democratic leadership.
Senate Foreign Relations Chair Ben Cardin will be presiding over Netanyahu's address, as Vice President Kamala Harris and Patty Murray have declined the invitation. Many Democrats from both the House and Senate have publicly stated their decision to skip the speech.
