Speaker Mike Johnson said he spoke with Netanyahu in a 'lengthy conversation' on Wednesday morning to reiterate House GOP support for Israel.
to address a joint session of Congress as tensions persist on Capitol Hill on whether to provide foreign aid amid its war against Hamas.
“We didn’t talk about those logistics, but it’s one of the things that we have in mind, and we may try to arrange for that,” House Speaker Mike Johnson said. “I think it’s very important for us to show solidarity and support with Israel right now in their time of great struggle, and we certainly stand for that position, and we’ll try to advance that in every way that we can.”
Schumer called for new elections in Israel to replace Netanyahu during a floor speech on Thursday, declaring that the Israeli leader had “lost his way.” House Republicans were quick to rebuke those comments, calling them a dangerous attack on the “democratically elected leadership of Israel.”
