<p>Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) informed NBC&#8217;s Peter Alexander that he did not plan to attend an upcoming congressional address from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.</p>
<p>Khanna joined Alexander, who was guest-hosting the network&#8217;s Sunday morning episode of &#8220;Meet the Press,&#8221; and complained about Netanyahu&#8217;s past treatment of former President Barack Obama: &#8220;He should not expect reciprocity.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I will not attend,&#8221; Khanna told Alexander during Sunday&#8217;s broadcast. &#8220;I said that if he wants to come to speak to members of Congress about how to end the war and release hostages, I would be fine doing that, but I’m not going to sit in a one-way lecture.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And I agree with Representative Clyburn,&#8221; Khanna continued. &#8220;I mean, how he treated President Obama, he should not expect reciprocity. That said, I think it should be polite. We’re not going to make a big deal about it. He’s obviously addressing the Congress, and there has to be decorum.&#8221;</p>
<p>Khanna follows Senator <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/ro-khanna-plans-skip-netanyahu-address-congress-israel-palestine-rcna157361" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bernie Sanders</a> (I-VT) in announcing his plans to skip the address. Sanders took things a bit further, however, accusing Netanyahu of being responsible for the civilian deaths in Gaza despite the knowledge that Hamas terrorists routinely use the civilian population as human shields.</p>
<p>&#8220;What [Speaker Mike] Johnson is going to have to explain to the American people is why he thinks it’s OK to invite somebody to a joint session who is responsible for the deaths of some 38,000 Palestinians at this point, 60% of whom are women and children, elderly people,&#8221; Sanders said, citing casualty numbers provided but the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry.</p>
