Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is set to join House Speaker Mike Johnson in inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress, despite recent criticism of Netanyahu by Schumer.
According to The Hill, Johnson sent Schumer a draft invitation around a month ago, but Schumer had not yet cosigned it. However, Schumer’s office has now confirmed that he intends to join the invitation, with the timing being worked out.
This will be Netanyahu’s second address to Congress, following his 2015 speech. The invitation comes despite Schumer’s recent criticism of Netanyahu, including a speech in March where Schumer demanded elections in Israel and said Netanyahu had “lost his way” and was an “obstacle to peace.”
Schumer’s remarks were criticized by officials in both the US and Israel, but President Joe Biden later expressed support for Schumer’s comments. Netanyahu responded, calling Schumer’s remarks “totally inappropriate.”
Despite this, Schumer hinted in March that he would still welcome Netanyahu to address Congress, saying that the US-Israel relationship “transcends any one president or any one Prime Minister.”

The damage you caused, Shoemaker, will hopefully do in both your career and legacy.
Schumer has proven to be a huge embarrassment to the Jewish community, and his role in the Senate has been a major disgrace. If he wants to be worth his position, let’s see him force Biden y”sh to release the ammo and arms to Israel. As things stand today, Schumer is proving to be an enemy to the United States and to Israel.
Why don’t we hear NOT EVEN A PEEP from Chuck שונא ישראל Shumer about the protests on the University campuses?
@ Yaapchik
You refer to schumer as shoemaker, as some type of demeaning term. No work and income is demeaning. Schumer just being schumer is demeaning in and of itself.
FYI: Caps were intentionally skipped as a sign of lack of respect.
He arrogantly thought he could take the Jewish community for granted. Evidently the polls show him that in orthodox circles we identify as Jews whereas his type are always democrats first and foremost. I met a couple that attended the same Flatbush temple that he does. They worship the democrat party.
“Schumer has proven to be a huge embarrassment to the Jewish community…” Anyone who supports anti-Torah values is automatically a huge embarrassment to Judaism, regardless of how Zionist he is or isn’t (even if you are a Zionist).
Go to hell, Schumer. It’s where you belong, you and AOC and all the other fake Jews.
