Vice President Joe Biden is the latest Democrat to say he’ll skip the speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu next month to a joint session of Congress.

Biden will be traveling internationally when Netanyahu speaks at the invitation of House Speaker John Boehner, an official with his office said.
