Washington, DC — Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will “present the truth” about Israel’s war against the Hamas terror group in Gaza when he addresses the Congress on July 24 during a visit to Washington, DC, GOP leaders announced.
Netanyahu is scheduled to speak to a joint session of Congress consisting of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, according to House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
In a letter signed by both Republican and Democrat congressional leaders (including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries), they invited the Prime Minister, “Less than three months later, the horrific attacks of October 7th shocked the world and forced your nation into a fight for its very existence. We join the State of Israel in your struggle against terror, especially as Hamas continues to hold American and Israeli citizens captive and its leaders jeopardize regional stability.”
“For this reason, on behalf of the bipartisan leadership of the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate, we would like to invite you to address a Joint Meeting of Congress.” They added.
“I am very moved to have the privilege of representing Israel before both Houses of Congress and to present the truth about our just war against those who seek to destroy us to the representatives of the American people and the entire world,” Netanyahu said in a statement.
Netanyahu’s visit comes amid tensions with President Joe Biden, who has supported Israel’s campaign in Gaza but recently criticized its tactics. Biden argued with Netanyahu over entering Rafah and withheld the shipment of some ammunition.
It is not yet clear if Netanyahu will meet with President Joe Biden during his US visit.

Likud needs a frum yid to schedule the planning, it was first scheduled for Shavous before switched to this after they realized their mistake.
Any religious Jew would of said the first scheduled date was not a good idea.
