Israel's prime minister will address a joint session of the US Congress in a bid to bolster support for his country's war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Benjamin Netanyahu was invited by the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, whose Republican Party is trying to show unflinching support for Israel.
But more than 30 Democratic lawmakers have said they will not attend, including influential former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Mr Netanyahu arrived in the US on Monday. After addressing Congress on Wednesday, he will meet President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris, then have a separate meeting with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
"Looking forward to welcoming Bibi Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida," Mr Trump said in a post on Truth Social, using a common nickname for the Israeli prime minister.
Mr Netanyahu has said he would "present the truth about our just war" during his address to Congress, in what is his first trip to the US since the conflict with Hamas began.
Israel's PM faces growing international and domestic pressure over his handling of the war, which started nearly 10 months ago.
