Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office denies a report claiming that he will give an address to a joint session of Congress on June 13.
The PMO says a date has not yet been finalized and that the speech will not take place on June 13, as that would fall on the second day of the Shavuot holiday.
The Punchbowl news site sparked a brief political storm after it revealed the date for Netanyahu’s speech without citing any sources an hour and a half ago.
