#Schumer should stare #Johnson down and dare him to invite #Netanyahu.
Who thinks Bibi will accept the invitation without #Democratic support and without a State Dinner with #Biden?

House Speaker Mike #Johnson, Senate Majority Leader Chuck #Schumer, Senate Republican leader Mitch #McConnell and House Democratic leader Hakeem #Jeffries invite #Netanyahu to deliver an address at the Capitol
This would certainly expose election-year divisions where a many #Democrats have turned away from Bibi, while #Republicans have embraced him.

Chuck Schumer, top Senate Democrat, calls for new elections in Israel
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is calling on Israel to hold new elections. He says he believes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has “lost his way” and is an obstacle to peace in the region amid a growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Schumer is the first Jewish majority leader in the Senate and the highest-ranking Jewish official in the U.S. He strongly criticized Netanyahu in a lengthy speech Thursday. He said Netanyahu has put himself in a coalition of far-right extremists and “as a result, he has been too willing to tolerate the civilian toll in Gaza." The speech drew a swift reprisal from Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who said immediately after Schumer’s remarks that “Israel deserves an ally that acts like one.”

#Pelosi has the best zingers!
"I didn’t approve of [#Netanyahu] being invited last time,” she added when the prime minister criticized President #Obama’s “masterful” work on a nuclear agreement with #Iran.
[See, #Bibi has a history where he #kicksSand in #Obama's eyes too — some ally he is 🙄 of #US]
“I feel very sad that he has been invited,” but with a dash of optimism added, “But who knows by then, will he still be prime minister?” 😂

#Netanyahu faces prospect of #coldReception from #Biden if he steps foot in The United States to address #Congress.
Forget State Dinner.
The White House declined to say on Sunday whether President Joe Biden will even MEET Benjamin Netanyahu when the #Israeli prime minister visits Washington next month to address the #USCongress.
⬆️ @thepoliticalcat @GreenFire
“#Netanyahu seemed to snub #Biden by being one of the few prominent #Israeli politicians … not to acknowledge the outgoing president's help to #Israel”
What’s worse than not inviting an ungrateful ally for State Dinner?
Setting up a meeting and then canceling it after the foreign guest has already left his home country, and also letting it be known the new torch bearer will also not grace the halls of Congress when the ingrate speaks 😎

I don't like Netanyahu (tbch, I find him a bit too much like TFG and Putin). His actions speak so loud, they drown out his lies. To me, his genocidal similarities to prior and current despots dishonor the memory of those murdered in the Holocaust.
