Israel’s President Herzog speaks to Congress on Wednesday in an appearance aimed at demonstrating what he calls the “unbreakable bond” between Israel and the United States. Isaac Herzog becomes the second Israeli president, after his father, Chaim Herzog, to address Congress. The speech is meant to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Israel’s statehood, and to reaffirm the U.S.-Israeli relationship. A number of progressive Democrats, however, announced last week that they would boycott Herzog’s speech in part as a protest against Israel’s policies towards Palestinians. The event is scheduled for 11 a.m. ET. Watch the live video below.
