Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Washington, D.C., Monday ahead of his address to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday. Activists opposing Israel’s assault on Gaza are planning major protests across D.C., while dozens of Democrats say they will boycott the address. Last week, some 230 Capitol Hill staffers signed a letter calling on their bosses to either protest or boycott Netanyahu’s speech. Vice president and presumptive presidential candidate Kamala Harris will not preside over the address and will instead attend an event with the Zeta Phi Beta sorority in Indianapolis. But Harris is reportedly planning to meet privately with Prime Minister Netanyahu during his visit. There are also reportedly plans for Biden to meet with Netanyahu on Thursday, though it’s unclear if Biden would be well enough to do so as he recovers from COVID. A possible meeting between Netanyahu and Donald Trump has also not been confirmed.
