House Speaker Mike Johnson Plans to Invite Netanyahu to Speak to Congress

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Thursday that he plans to invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak to Congress about the conflict against Hamas in Gaza.

“I would love to have him come in and address a joint session of Congress. We’ll certainly extend that invitation,” Johnson said in an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

Johnson said Netanyahu has already invited him to speak to the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, and they just have to work out scheduling. The speaker then denounced Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., for his floor speech last week railing against Netanyahu’s leadership and calling for new elections in Israel.
