Netanyahu to address US Congress ‘soon’, House speaker says
US House Speaker Mike Johnson has said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address a joint meeting of the US Congress.
That’s a move likely to anger Democrats who are increasingly critical of Israel’s war on Gaza.
The White House declined to comment when asked whether it was consulted.
