Prime Minister Netanyahu will reportedly address his plans for the "day after" the war in the Gaza Strip, according to Israel Hayom.
The Prime Minister reportedly informed leaders of American Jewish organizations that he would address the question of the "day after" the war in Gaza last night.
Around 86 federal legislators - at least 80 Congressmembers and 6 Senators - are expected not to attend Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech to a Joint Session of Congress today (Wednesday), according to Ynet.
Israeli Spokesperson David Mencer said that the relationship between Israel and the United States is "bigger than any one person" in response to a JFeed question as to how Prime Minister Netanyahu feels about Vice President Kamala Harris' planned absence from his speech to Congress today.
While Vice Presidents traditionally preside over speeches by foreign leaders in Congress, including Harris, the Vice President claimed a scheduling conflict requiring her to be absent. Other Democrats are openly boycotting the speech on various grounds, including Congressman Jerry Nadler and Senator Chris Van Hollen.
Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi has also said she would not attend, spending time with families of the hostages, instead.
