Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is addressing a joint session of Congress on Wednesday about Israel's war against Hamas. 

This is Netanyahu's first address to Congress since the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks.

Vice President Kamala Harris will not preside over the joint session in her capacity as president of the Senate because she is traveling to Indiana. Harris, now the top 2024 Democrat presidential candidate, will instead meet privately with Netanyahu.

The invitation attracted intense criticism from the far-left, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who called Netanyahu a "war criminal" in a June 18 tweet and said "his invitation should be revoked."

On Tuesday, pro-Palestinian protestors stormed the Rotunda of the Cannon House Office Building in protest of Netanyahu's visit. They brandished banners reading, "Jews say: stop the genocide" and "Let Gaza Live."

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., warned visitors and colleagues alike he would "enforce a zero-tolerance policy for disturbances" during Netanyahu's address.

Visitors disrupting the address are subject to removal and prosecution. Members of Congress are expected to police their own behavior.
