WASHINGTON — Members of Congress are streaming into the chamber ahead of President Isaac Herzog’s address, standing and chatting amicably with one another. The hall is buzzing as members shake hands and slap backs in the center aisle.
The balcony is also filled to capacity with guests.
The chamber is called to order, and the members take their seats and quiet down.
