'Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to address Congress at the invitation of Republicans on July 24. Several Democratic lawmakers have announced their intent to boycott the speech, citing what they say are ongoing human rights abuses and war crimes by the Israeli military (IDF) in Gaza.

230 anonymous staff members have signed a letter urging a Congressional protest or boycott ... this includes staff from Republican congressional offices.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has put the body on notice, threatening to arrest anyone who is protesting.

Johnson told an audience of the Republican Jewish Coalition:
"If anybody gets out of hand… We’re going to arrest people"

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the country's largest Muslim civil rights organization, have called on Congressional security officers to refuse Johnson's directive.'
