Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to address a joint session of the U.S. Congress on July 24 at 2:00 PM ET in the House Chamber. The announcement was made by House Speaker Johnson's office. The address comes amid significant controversy, with many Democrats debating whether to attend. Some prominent Democrats, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders, have already declared their intention to boycott the speech. The hesitation among Democrats is largely due to Netanyahu's actions in Gaza, which have led to calls for his arrest by the International Criminal Court for war crimes. This situation has created a rift within the Democratic Party, with some members supporting Israel and others criticizing its military operations. The speech is scheduled for 9 PM Israeli time, an hour after prime time nightly newscasts. Nearly 60 Democrats skipped Netanyahu's last address to Congress nine years ago.
