Netanyahu expected to deliver first remarks on US Capitol chaos
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will make a joint statement with US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin sometime after their meeting, which is scheduled to take place within the hour.
Netanyahu has thus far refrained from commenting on the events at the US Capitol yesterday, but is widely expected to do so in his remarks after the meeting.
Mnuchin tweeted last night: “Violence is always unacceptable. We must respect our constitution and democratic process.”
