Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Monday he would skip Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to a joint session of Congress next month.
During a Q&A at the Brookings Institution, Sanders said he wouldn't be present for the remarks, according to Bloomberg.
"I'm not thinking about it," Sanders said. "I'm not going. I may watch it on TV."
Sanders is the first senator to announce he will not attend Netanyahu's address. Earlier this month, Vice President Joe Biden said he wouldn't attend the speech, but his absence will be due to a scheduling conflict.
