Two senior Democrats in the United States Senate have invited Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to a closed-door meeting with Democratic senators during his upcoming visit to Washington, Reuters reported on Monday.
According to the report, Senators Richard Durbin and Dianne Feinstein extended the invitation "to maintain Israel's dialog with both political parties in Congress," according to a letter they sent to the Israeli leader.
The invitation by the Democrats comes after weeks of quarreling between Democrats and Republicans over Netanyahu’s Congress speech.
Although some Democrats have said they would not attend Netanyahu's speech to the joint meeting of the House of Representatives and Senate, the session proposed by Durbin and Feinstein would be in addition to the address. It is not intended as an alternative, a Durbin aide said, according to the report.
The two senators have not indicated publicly whether they planned to be at the Israeli leader's address, their spokesmen said.

Dear Prime Minister,
Wouldn't want to be seen in public listening to you. But can we have some private time together so we can take selfies and cover our butts with donors?
Sincerely,
Feinstein, Durbin & Fellow Travelers
King Hussein Obama demands that you only say this in your speech to congress or he will turn loose Valerie Jarrett on your ass.
Ben dont trust those dems. Your country shows to much work ethic..they only support..welfare mothers, illegals, big pharma,and marxists
Ben needs to enlighten the US to his specific religious doctrine.That doctrine needs to fall within the guidelines of Christianity.If it does not (and we all know it will not)the country of Israel needs to convert.If that happens(and we all know it will not)then the US should lend him their ear.We have turned our backs to Christianity too long already.
What a dumb statement, 8:20 (or is it JT?)
