House Speaker gives Schumer an ultimatum on Netanyahu
[IsraelNationalNews] House Speaker Mike Johnson has presented Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer with an ultimatum: Join his letter inviting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress, or the House will move ahead with an invitation on its own, The Hill reported on Tuesday.
The Speaker, however, noted that he would invite senators to attend the speech. "My office told Senator Schumer’s office yesterday that he needed to sign the joint letter, and if not, we were gonna proceed and invite Netanyahu just to the House, and I’ll send individual invitations to senators," Johnson said, according to The Hill.
