This is the best summary I could come up with:


WASHINGTON — House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., announced Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address a joint session of Congress.

Johnson told reporters Wednesday that he was working with Netanyahu on a date and would be sending the formal invitation this week.

Johnson made the announcement in his keynote address for the Israeli Embassy event, which took place at the National Building Museum.

Several other lawmakers attended the program, and House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar of California also spoke.

Earlier in March, Schumer delivered a fiery speech blasting Netanyahu, saying he had "lost his way" and calling for new elections in Israel.

President Joe Biden later praised Schumer's speech, saying "expressed a serious concern, shared not only by him but by many Americans."
