Opposition leader Yair Lapid is slated to address a gathering of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in Washington at 5 p.m. Israel time (10 a.m. Eastern time).

The conference is closed to the press, save for Lapid’s speech.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is also slated to virtually address the gathering along with senior White House official Eric Trager.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries are also slated to speak.

Throughout the week, participants will converge on Capitol Hill to lobby Congress in favor of legislation to further sanction Iran and expand aid to Israel.
