Democrats Snub Netanyahu Address as Trump to Welcome Him to Mar-a-Lago [View all]

Following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's arrival in Washington, D.C., more Democrats are deciding to skip his expected speech Wednesday, as former President Donald Trump gears up to welcome the Israeli leader.

During his trip, Netanyahu is anticipated to deliver an address to Congress on Wednesday and meet with President Joe Biden Thursday, according to a report from the Associated Press (AP), which added that the Israeli leader will hold separate talks with Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday.

Trump announced on Truth Social that Netanyahu will also make a stop at Mar-a-Lago on Friday.

"Looking forward to welcoming Bibi Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida … During my first term, we had Peace and Stability in the Region, even signing the historic Abraham Accords—And we will have it again," Trump wrote on his Truth Social.
