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