Addressing reporters on Monday, McCarthy reiterated his willingness to invite Netanyahu to Washington if Biden does not. But, McCarthy said,I expect the White House to invite the prime minister over for a meeting, especially with the 75th anniversary.” Israel last week marked its 1948 founding. During the news conference, both McCarthy and Rep. Steny H. Hoyer , who is part of the bipartisan delegation traveling with the speaker, were pressed for thoughts on Netanyahu’s plan to remake Israel’s judicial system, which was delayed after social unrest and protests. Among other things, the plan would give lawmakers more control of the makeup of the court.Look, Israel’s their own nation,” McCarthy said. “Israel can decide what they want to do.
Earlier Monday, McCarthy became just the second U.S. speaker to address a full session of the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, and the first since his fellow Republican Newt Gingrich appeared here in 1998. It is McCarthy’s first foreign trip as speaker and began with a stop in Jordan.
