(1 Mar 2015) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Washington, D.C. Sunday evening ahead of his public appearances in the nation's capital.
Netanyahu is expected to speak Monday at the annual conference of the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) and Congress on Tuesday.
The invitation by House Speaker John Boehner, and Netanyahu's acceptance have caused an uproar that has exposed tensions between Israel and the U.S., its most important ally.
By consenting to speak, Netanyahu angered the White House, which was not consulted with in advance, and Democrats, who were forced to choose between showing support for Israel and backing the president.
The prime minister will press his opposition to a diplomatic accommodation of Iran's program in his congressional speech. Netanyahu says he is making the address out of concern for Israel's security.
