"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.

"Biden Urges Netanyahu to Ensure Civilian Protection in Rafah Operation"

President Biden cautioned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against proceeding with a planned military operation in Rafah, urging a credible plan to ensure the safety of over 1 million civilians sheltering there. The call also focused on the need to work towards a potential hostage deal with Hamas, as negotiators from Israel, Egypt, Qatar, and the United States are working on a proposal for a cessation of hostilities in exchange for the release of Israelis abducted by Hamas during the October attack.

"Arab Nations' Proposal for U.S.-Saudi-Israeli Pact to End Israel-Hamas War"

U.S. lawmakers and diplomats, including Senator Lindsey Graham, are engaging in high-stakes meetings with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to create a far-reaching pact between the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and Israel aimed at ending the Israel-Hamas war and establishing a framework for Palestinian self-governance in Gaza. The potential deal faces significant political obstacles in all three countries, with Saudi Arabia insisting on a realistic pathway to a Palestinian state and Israel grappling with the aftermath of a recent terrorist attack. Despite challenges, the U.S.-Saudi-Israeli pact could offer a political win for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and an exit strategy from the war.
