Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to address a joint session of Congress on July 24, to discuss pressing matters including defending democracy, combating terror, and establishing peace in the region. Netanyahu’s address comes at a crucial time amidst ongoing conflict in Gaza, with over 36,000 Palestinians reported killed and facing severe humanitarian challenges. The invitation extended to Netanyahu has sparked controversy, with some Democratic lawmakers expressing reservations and planning to boycott the speech. This address marks Netanyahu’s return to Congress since his last appearance in 2015, where he aimed to influence discussions on Iran’s nuclear program. As political tensions simmer, Netanyahu’s upcoming speech is poised to reignite debates over U.S. support for Israel and broader Middle East policies.
