"Last July, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress, though he did so with many Democrats, including then-President Joe Biden and -Vice President Kamala Harris--the latter of whom was supposed to preside--skipping out of the event. He's returned to Capitol Hill for another visit, though this time it looks to be a much different situation, least of all because Israel has more of an ally in President Donald Trump. While Netanyahu is reportedly meeting with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), that may not be the case with another top Democrat, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY)." . . .
. . ."Yes, as Jewish Insider mentions, Democrats are indeed "now out of power in Washington," and they've indeed criticized him heavily. That they maligned and sought to turn him into a pariah might be more accurate, especially when it comes to all the boycotts from last July's address. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) had to be reprimanded for holding a sign declaring Netanyahu to be a "war criminal" and "guilty of genocide." Then there's how Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) gleefully offered to serve the International Criminal Court's (ICC) arrest warrant for the prime minister. Tlaib, a member of the anti-Israel Squad, isn't the only one to go after Netanyahu. Tlaib and now-former Rep. Jamaal Bowman, another member of the Squad, both referred to Netanyahu as a "maniac." Still, another Squad member, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), is also not such a fan, and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) especially is not. " . . .
