US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said Thursday that he will invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak to Congress.

"I would love to have him come in and address a joint session of Congress. We’ll certainly extend that invitation," the Louisiana Republican told CNBC.

The invitation follows Netanyahu speaking to Senate Republicans via videoconference on Wednesday. The address came after Democratic US Senator Chuck Schumer said last week that Israel should hold new elections, setting off a firestorm in Israel.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
