Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has said that he will join House Speaker Mike Johnson in inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress. Schumer, the highest-ranking Jewish member of Congress, sharply criticized Netanyahu in March but intends to co-sign a draft of the invitation that the Republican speaker sent over last month, his office told the Washington Examiner. A spokesperson for Schumer's office said the timing was being worked out.
In his speech, Schumer called for new elections in Israel and said Netanyahu was a “major obstacle to peace.” The New York Democrat’s public rebuke of Netanyahu led to intense criticism from Republicans and some Democrats. President Joe Biden — who has urged Netanyahu to do more to protect civilians in Gaza but has continued to approve billions of dollars in military aid without conditions — said Schumer made a “good speech” but did not expressly agree with his sentiment.
