Speaker Johnson Pushes for Netanyahu's Congressional Address Amid ICC Warrant Threat

Johnson pressures Schumer to co-sign invitation as ICC seeks arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has set a deadline for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to co-sign an invitation for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress.
The ICC prosecutor announced plans to seek arrest warrants for Netanyahu and other leaders for alleged war crimes.
Schumer expressed support for the invitation but is still negotiating the timing with Johnson.
The Biden administration and several lawmakers criticized the ICC's decision as unfair and biased against Israel.
Some Democrats warn that inviting Netanyahu could complicate U.S. relations and provoke further controversy.
