Prominent US Jewish leaders in visitors’ gallery

Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel and World Jewish Congress president Ronald Lauder have taken seats in the visitors’ gallery in advance of Netanyahu’s address.

Sara Netanyahu is seated next to Wiesel in the gallery.

Some 50-60 lawmakers will not attend Netanyahu’s address, but Democratic National Committee Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) is among those already in the room awaiting the speech.
