"House Speaker Johnson Invites Netanyahu to Address Congress, Sparks Controversy"

House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that he plans to invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress, while criticizing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for his recent comments on Netanyahu's leadership. Schumer, in response, expressed willingness to welcome Netanyahu to speak in a bipartisan manner. Johnson slammed Schumer's remarks as "almost staggering" and "unbelievable," arguing that it is inappropriate for the leader of the Senate to suggest regime change in Israel. Netanyahu had previously spoken to Republican senators in a closed-door virtual meeting, but Schumer rejected a similar request to address the Senate Democratic Caucus.
