Democrats Plan To Boycott Israeli PM Netanyahu US Congress Address During His Visit | US News | N18G

When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris won’t be there. Neither will Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), the Senate pro tem, who is third in line to the presidency. The main reason Netanyahu is visiting the U.S. this week is to give this speech, which he was invited to deliver by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.). But so far, at least three dozen Democratic lawmakers plan to boycott his remarks in protest of the conservative Israeli leader’s military campaign in Gaza. #israelvsgaza #netanyahu #israelnews #usnews #news18 SOURCE: REUTERS News18 Mobile App -
