Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said he will not attend remarks by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to a joint session of Congress, calling him a 'war criminal.'

Sanders is Jewish but has previously said that he is no longer involved in organized religion. After receiving the invitation, Netanyahu said in a statement, 'I am excited to represent Israel before both houses of Congress and to present the truth about our just war against those seeking our lives to the representatives of the American people and the entire world.
