Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been invited by US party leaders to address Congress, despite facing criticism for his handling of the ongoing conflict.
The invitation comes at a time when Netanyahu is under fire for his government's military actions in the region, which have drawn international condemnation.
Netanyahu's upcoming speech before Congress is expected to focus on the security challenges facing Israel and the broader Middle East region. It is also seen as an opportunity for the Prime Minister to address concerns and defend his administration's policies.
The decision to invite Netanyahu has sparked controversy, with some lawmakers questioning the timing and appropriateness of the invitation. Critics argue that extending an invitation to a foreign leader facing scrutiny for his actions could be seen as a political move.
However, supporters of the invitation argue that it is important for Congress to hear directly from Netanyahu about the situation in the Middle East and Israel's security concerns. They believe that his address could provide valuable insights and help strengthen the US-Israel relationship.
Netanyahu's visit to Congress is scheduled to take place in the coming weeks, and it is expected to be closely watched by both domestic and international audiences. The Prime Minister's speech is likely to generate further debate and discussion about US foreign policy in the region and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
