Harris to skip Netanyahu’s speech to Congress but plans separate meeting
Vice President Kamala Harris declined to preside over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress on Wednesday, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.
The decision to skip the joint meeting underscores the tense relationship between the Biden administration and Netanyahu at a time when the war in Gaza has caused growing backlash from the left.
A visiting head of state addressing a joint session of Congress and neither the President, nor the VP will attend -nice slap in the face.Why does that sound familiar? hmmm... let's look
Biden to Skip Netanyahu Speech
Vice President Joe Biden will not be in attendance when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses a joint session of Congress next month, his office confirmed Friday.
Biden is the latest and most prominent Democrat to announce he will be absent from the speech that has stoked a political furor in Washington. Biden's office said he will be traveling abroad on a pre-planned trip, the details of which have not been released.
For those who are not familiar - the Vice President is the President of the Senate and sits next to the Speaker of the House on all formal meetings. Once again they demonstrate their distain for our ally.
