Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to meet with leaders in Congress during his November trip to visit President Obama, according to a Republican leadership aide.

Netanyahu’s potential visit with Congress was first reported by Politico. The White House announcement about Netanyahu’s visit did not specify whether he would meet with Congress.

The Israeli Prime Minister spoke before Congress in March by invitation from House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH). President Obama did not meet with Netanyahu at the time, citing the speech’s proximity to the Israeli elections. Numerous Democrats boycotted Netanyahu’s speech and lamented that Boehner invited Netanyahu without consulting the President.

    Actually Obama has given Israel plenty of support with money and weapons and as a result if this Iran Deal even more. While Netanyahu was actively lobbying against the deal, after the deal passed, he was bragging to Israelis how well they did in getting more money and weapons, Poor Israel, they needed more money and weapons to be appeased when in fact they could wipe out the whole Middle East with their arsenal. But they prefer we do their dirty work for them and suffer the consequences.
