U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson is set to make a controversial trip to Israel on June 22, amid rising global condemnation of Israeli military actions in Gaza and the West Bank.
Johnson, a Trump ally, will address the Knesset and meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a show of “unwavering solidarity.” This comes days after international sanctions were imposed on Israeli cabinet members over their handling of settler violence in the West Bank.
The visit could deepen divisions in the U.S. Congress, as Democrats call for a ceasefire and humanitarian oversight in Gaza, while Republicans rally behind Netanyahu’s government. Observers fear the move may inflame an already fragile situation, just as U.S. troops are active across the Middle East.
