Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to address a group of U.S. Republican senators following a speech by Democrat Chuck Schumer, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Netanyahu's upcoming address to the Republican senators comes in the midst of heightened tensions between Israel and the Palestinians, as well as ongoing political divisions within the United States.
The Israeli leader's decision to speak to Republican lawmakers underscores the complex dynamics at play in the region and the importance of maintaining relationships with key U.S. political figures.
Netanyahu's address is expected to touch on a range of issues, including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, regional security concerns, and potential areas of cooperation between Israel and the United States.
His speech follows a recent address by Senator Schumer, a prominent Democrat, who also discussed the situation in the Middle East and the need for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict.
Netanyahu's engagement with U.S. lawmakers from both parties reflects Israel's efforts to garner support and understanding from a broad spectrum of American political leaders.
The Israeli Prime Minister's address to Republican senators is likely to be closely watched for insights into Israel's strategic priorities and its approach to navigating the complex geopolitical landscape in the Middle East.
