Reportedly, Mr. Herzog will meet with U.S. President Joe Biden\u2014a continuation of Mr. Biden\u2019s snubbing of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.<\/p>\n<p>In March, Mr. Biden said he would not invite Mr. Netanyahu to the White House \u201cin the near term\u201d due to Mr. Netanyahu\u2019s attempt to change Israel\u2019s judiciary, an effort opposed by Mr. Herzog. In response to Mr. Biden shutting the door to meeting with Mr. Netanyahu in the near future, Mr. McCarthy said he would invite Mr. Netanyahu to Congress if Mr. Biden does not reverse course.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf that doesn\u2019t happen, I\u2019ll invite the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/uk-govt-lockdown-to-last-12-months-expect-repeated-vaccinations\/\" title=\"UK Govt: Lockdown to Last 12+ Months, Expect Repeated Vaccinations\">prime minister<\/a> to come meet with the House,\u201d Mr. McCarthy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.israelhayom.com\/2023\/05\/01\/this-administration-should-get-further-behind-the-abraham-accords-and-grow-even-bigger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> the newspaper Israel Hayom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a dear friend, as a prime minister of a country that we have our closest ties with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. McCarthy visited Israel in May and became the second <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ccp-speaker-pelosi-visiting-taiwan-violates-chinese-territorial-integrity\/\" title=\"CCP: Speaker Pelosi visiting Taiwan violates Chinese territorial integrity\">sitting speaker<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/in-address-to-israeli-parliament-mccarthy-says-israel-is-a-story-of-survival_5233463.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">address<\/a> the Knesset, Israel\u2019s parliament.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. McCarthy\u2019s invitation to Mr. Netanyahu is reminiscent of then-House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) in 2015 inviting Mr. Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress, which Mr. Netanyahu accepted as he warned Congress about the then-pending Iran nuclear deal. Mr. Netanyahu\u2019s visit was boycotted by then-President Barack Obama and his administration, under whom Mr. Biden served as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: 'Pipeline' to Obama Admin Seen as 'Currency'\">vice president<\/a>. It is unclear if Mr. Netanyahu would give a joint address to Congress were he to be invited by Mr. McCarthy.<\/p>\n<h2>A Slap in the Face<\/h2>\n<p>The expected meeting between Mr. Biden and Mr. Herzog is a slap in the face to Mr. Netanyahu, prominent members of the Jewish community told The Epoch Times.<\/p>\n<p>Bryan Leib, a Republican who is head of CASEPAC, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/analysis-isaac-herzog-white-house-invite-another-snub-to-netanyahu\/\" title=\"Isaac Herzog's White House invitation is another snub to Netanyahu.\">supports federal office candidates dedicated<\/a> to fighting antisemitism, noted that Mr. Netanyahu, not Mr. Herzog, is Israel\u2019s head of government. Mr. Herzog is Israel\u2019s head of state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrime Minister Netanyahu is the leader of the State of Israel, so inviting anyone other than Netanyahu to represent the State of Israel on an official visit is a direct shot across the bow of Netanyahu from the Biden administration,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Biden administration has shown us in words and actions that they are far more interested in throwing shade at the Netanyahu government than embracing them and working together to expand the Trump-era Abraham Accords,\u201d continued Mr. Leib, referring to the 2020 U.S.-brokered peace accords between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration announced last week that former U.S. Ambassador to Israel Daniel Shapiro would be its point person on the Abraham Accords, looking to further them.<\/p>\n<p>The upcoming visit by Mr. Herzog would not be controversial were it not for Mr. Biden blacklisting Mr. Netanyahu, said Shoshana Bryen, senior director of the Jewish Policy Center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf, for example, there had been a relationship of mutual respect between the two leaders, then the visit of President Herzog would be seen as a normal and positive event,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>invite Netanyahu to the White House, breaking with the tradition of previous U.S. presidents.
