Speaker Johnson says he plans to invite Netanyahu to address the US Congress

House Speaker Mike Johnson says he plans to invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress, a show of support from Republicans amid growing Democratic criticism of Netanyahu's leadership. “I would love to have him come in and address a joint session of Congress,” Johnson said Thursday morning on CNBC. Republicans have rallied around Netanyahu since Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called for new elections in Israel on the Senate floor last week.
