The House Judiciary Committee’s hearing with Google CEO Sundar Pichai has been postponed due to the D.C. funeral for George H.W. Bush, a spokesperson for the panel confirmed. A new date has not been selected.

Why it matters: Republican lawmakers are eager to hammer Pichai over perceived conservative bias on his platform, even though those allegations are unproven. Lawmakers will also have questions for the executive about the company’s potential re-entry into China and its dominance over parts of the internet industry.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indirectly criticized the Biden administration for its intention to return to the Iran nuclear deal and told his supporters he was prepared to "stand against the entire world" to stop it.

Why it matters: This is a major change of tune for Netanyahu, who had been careful in his statements on the Iran deal and avoided publicly criticizing President Biden. The statement was part of Netanyahu's attempt to rally his base ahead of Israel's election on March 23.
