McCarthy invites Netanyahu to address Congress, bypassing Biden White House

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy criticized President Biden for not inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House and pledged to invite Netanyahu to address Congress instead.
McCarthy led a bipartisan delegation of lawmakers to Israel to address tensions in the U.S.-Israel relationship and reaffirm Congressional support for Israel.
McCarthy announced the creation of a House-Knesset inter-parliamentary group to strengthen ties between the U.S. Congress and Israeli parliament.
Biden and Netanyahu have clashed over the Israeli leader's efforts to overhaul the country's judiciary and settlement expansion in the West Bank.
Republicans have sought to portray Biden as insufficiently supportive of Israel, risking bipartisan support for the country in Congress.
