The Israeli leader speaks Wednesday to a joint meeting of Congress amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. Republicans are strongly supportive of Israel, while Democrats are increasingly critical.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks during a memorial ceremony in Tel Aviv on June 18.Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a long list of critics over the war against Hamas in Gaza. They include fellow Israelis demanding a deal to bring Israeli hostages home, as well as many nations that are moving to isolate Israel internationally.
In addition to his speech on Capitol Hill, Netanyahu is expected to meet with Biden on Thursday and Vice President Harris, and with former President Donald Trump on Friday. Yet all these meetings could come with sticking points. There will be notable absences in the chamber when Netanyahu delivers his address. Dozens of Democratic lawmakers, including Senate President Pro Tempore Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., are expected to sit his speech out.
“To me, it's a lot like whether or not to go to the State of the Union back when Donald Trump was president. I mean, the difficult part is that you're like a jack in the box, popping up and down, because the speeches are written in such a way that either you clap or you're a Martian,” he told NPR. “That's the problem with going. But the problem with not going is that you don't see what's happening and you're not able to immediately engage with it and respond to it.
North Carolina Rep. Kathy Manning pointed out that even with some defections, the actions of Congress speak to broad backing for Israel.
