Watch live: Israeli President Isaac Herzog speaks to Joint Session of Congress

Israeli President Isaac Herzog is scheduled to deliver remarks before a joint meeting of Congress this morning, a speech that is putting Democratic divisions over Israel on center stage.

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.
