Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is tentatively scheduled to speak virtually to Senate Republicans during their regular lunch meeting Wednesday, two Senate sources familiar with the plan tell Axios.

Why it matters: The invitation comes after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) called for elections for a new government in Israel and harshly criticized Netanyahu's handling of the threat of Hamas.

Punchbowl first reported the news that Netanyahu is scheduled to speak to Republicans.

The prime minister was slated to talk with Republicans during their policy retreat last week, but that plan fell through. Both times he has been invited by Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), the third-ranked Senate Republican.

The big picture: There has been growing tension between President Biden and Netanyahu, over what the prime minister sees as efforts by both the White House and Democrats to weaken him politically, as Axios has reported.

[Think. Again.]

1. Lunch. While all of Gaza is starving.

2. May his KARMA come soon (and liberate the Israelis from this horrendously corrupt sociopath)

How anyone can not see what harm he is bringing to the future of Israel and its people--let alone those non-Hamas in Gaza just astonishes me. Like Trump, Netanyahu is out for one person--himself. Everything else is to be exploited for his cause.

3. Once again...

Bibi comes over here to stir shit with the coup party and snubs the president. He shouldn't be allowed in the country!

WTF?

I hope his plane crashes with him in it and the only one who doesn't survive is him.

4. Supposed to be "virtual"

so he wouldn't be traveling but "phoning it in" (video conference call).

5. Well then...

Maybe there will be a solar flare or something that interrupts the connection.

He deserves no audience here.

6. LOL

A would do it.

7. I was tryna be nice...

Sort of.

8. He should be arrested for war crimes while he is out of Israel. Too bad the ICJ hasn't indicted him.

9. You can bet that the rethugs will support his views, if nothing else just to DEVIDE The Dems. and RETHUGS.

That's my thoughts.

10. The GQP does love a man with an 'iron hand'. They adore all dictators.

11. Tell that to Tlaib and "the uncommitted" in Michigan!

Biden has been under tremendous pressure from them.

______

I bet they won't care.....

12. Uncommitteds might as well vote for trump

WTF? Who thought it was a good idea to invite Bibi? Especially when trump has nothing good to say about Jewish people.

[LeftInTX]

13. Trump loves his Republican Jewish people and Bibi

I'm afraid Biden could start to lose Jewish votes if he comes down too hard on Israel. It's a "can't win" situation.

14. Bibi will be sure to discretely remind them of who Putin has kompromat on. nt
