House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) “invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint meeting of Congress on Feb. 11 — an invitation the White House called a breach of normal protocol,” Roll Call reports.
“Boehner said at a press conference that he did not consult the White House prior to sending out the invitation, as is customary when it comes to coordinating such joint sessions… Boehner told members of the Republican conference Wednesday that he wanted to send a clear message of support for Israel to the White House and to the world.”
