Vice President Kamala Harris has decided not to preside over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's upcoming speech to Congress, citing a prior commitment.
This decision comes amidst a backdrop of political tension, with some members of Congress planning to boycott the speech and protests expected to occur. Despite skipping the address, Harris is scheduled to have a separate meeting with Netanyahu during his visit to the United States. The Vice President's absence from the Congressional address does not indicate a shift in her stance towards Israel, according to an aide.
Netanyahu's visit aims to seek support in the U.S. but occurs at a time when both nations are dealing with their own internal political challenges.
