Speaker Johnson Invites Netanyahu to Congress Amid U.S.-Israel Tensions

The invitation follows criticism from Senate Majority Leader Schumer, sparking a debate over U.S. support for Israel and its leadership.

Speaker Mike Johnson invites Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress, countering criticism from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Schumer's comments suggesting Netanyahu should be replaced due to his policies on Israel's war with Hamas and opposition to a two-state solution spark backlash.
Schumer's remarks lead to criticism from both Israeli officials and U.S. political figures, highlighting tensions between U.S. and Israeli leadership.
Netanyahu's invitation to Congress by Johnson is seen as a show of support amidst growing U.S. political divisions over Israel's policies and leadership.
Schumer later states he would welcome Netanyahu to speak to Congress, amidst pressure from pro-Israel groups and bipartisan criticism.
