Senate Democrats appear to be hesitating on whether they will attend remarks from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu next month to a joint session of Congress. 

"I haven't made up my mind yet," Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., told Fox News Digital. 

Asked whether he had specific reservations, he reiterated, "I haven't made up my mind yet."

Last month, bipartisan congressional leaders signed an invitation to Netanyahu to speak to lawmakers as Israel continues to fight terrorist group Hamas in war-torn Gaza. In the letter, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., wrote, "To build on our enduring relationship and to highlight America’s solidarity with Israel, we invite you to share the Israeli government’s vision for defending democracy, combatting terror, and establishing a just and lasting peace in the region."

While Schumer has been critical of Netanyahu specifically, he signed onto the invitation, justifying his choice to do so by explaining, "America’s relationship with Israel is ironclad and transcends one person or prime minister."

"We'll have to see what it conflicts with," Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., said of his potential attendance at the address, which is slated for July 24. 

Sen. Tina Smith, D-Minn., told Fox News Digital, "I haven't decided." 

The same sentiment was echoed by Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, who said he also had yet to determine whether he will attend the Israeli prime minister's address.

Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, who caucuses with Democrats in the upper chamber, claimed, "I haven't even thought of it," declining to answer whether he had reservations about going to the address by Netanyahu. 

Vocal progressive Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., who are also members of the Democratic caucus, have each already revealed that they won't be going to the address. Sanders, a prominent critic of Israel's actions in the war, released a statement after the invitation was extended, saying, "It is a very sad day for our country that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been invited – by leaders from both parties – to address a joint meeting of the United States Congress."

Warren reportedly shared with the Hill her plan not to attend, saying, "Benjamin Netanyahu has created a humanitarian disaster."

While there is a group of rank-and-file Democrats in the Senate who have yet to make a decision, there were also several who confirmed, without hesitation, that they would be at Netanyahu's remarks next month. 

"Yes," said Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., when asked whether she would attend.

Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., was similarly quick to confirm her planned attendance. The vulnerable incumbent Democrat is currently up for re-election in the swing state of Nevada. Notably, Rosen is only the third Jewish woman to serve as senator in U.S. history. She is also co-chair of the Bipartisan Task Force For Combating Antisemitism. 

Sens. Jon Tester, D-Mont., Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., Bob Casey, D-Penn., and Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, who face their own competitive elections in November, are also planning to attend the Netanyahu remarks. 

Schumer's office did not provide comment to Fox News Digital when asked for his response to potential Democratic absences. 

What started as a day on the water with a friend turned into a full-on rescue mission of 38 dogs.

Bob Gist, 61, a State Farm agent in Arkansas, decided to go on a fishing trip with his friend Brad Carlisle, a State Farm agent in Tennessee, after not seeing each other for a while, Gist told Fox News Digital.

The two men headed to Grenada Lake in Mississippi and got in touch with Jordan Chrestman, a local fishing guide, who led them out onto the water.

After fishing in the early morning hours and not finding much luck, the group moved to a different location.

"We go about a half mile or so from where we were to another place and we start fishing, and pretty soon we can hear some dogs barking," Gist said.

"Pretty soon we saw some dogs on the horizon in the water."

The dogs were a part of an annual fox run that takes place in the area, Gist said he learned after the encounter.

Chrestman noticed a deer in the water and the group of dogs were attempting to chase the animal.

"We went on fishing for about 10 or 15 more minutes, and Jordan [Chrestman] said, 'Hey guys, if you don't mind, we really need to go check on those dogs because they're way out there in that water,'" Gist said.

Gist and Carlisle had Chrestman lead them over to the pups.

Once the boat arrived on the scene, the three men were left stunned.

"We're just flabbergasted because it's dogs everywhere, and they're all going in different directions because they can no longer see the bank on either side," Gist said.

"And they're all hunting dogs —  we can clearly see that because they have expensive GPS radio collars on them."

Without hesitation, the men took the dogs onto the boat so they wouldn't drown.

"We just immediately started calling dogs on the boat, you know, grabbed their collar and put them in the [bass] boat," Gist said.

The three fishermen grabbed as many dogs as they could and fit them on the boat before running out of room.

Chrestman managed to gather 25 to 27 dogs, making sure none of the pups attempted to jump back into the water.

Once the men returned the dogs to the bank, they found the owners in a panic and calling out for help, Gist said.

After rescuing the second group of dogs, one man on land told Gist and the others that he had the GPS tracker for the dogs and asked if he could join the rescue.

The tracker led the other men to an additional group of three to four dogs who were estimated to be further than a mile from the bank, according to Gist.

"They were on the verge of drowning, because now they have been treading water for an hour," Gist said.

"We got back over to the ramp with that last bunch of dogs… [and] we were having to drag them out of the boat because they didn't want to get out of our boat. They were scared they were going back to the water. It was terrible."

The owner of the dogs tried to pay Chrestman, but he refused to take the reward, Gist said.

Gist has labeled Chrestman a true hero of the dog rescue.

"If Brad and I had been there in a boat by ourselves, we wouldn't have known anything was wrong, but that 20-something-year-old kid – I'm 61, so I'm calling him a kid – he knew something needed to be done," Gist said.

"That kid had the presence of mind to know, 'If we don't do something, there's going to be 38 dead dogs here.' And he saved them, I mean we all pulled them in, but that kid is the hero here."

Gist said that while he gives full credit to Chrestman, he is grateful to have assisted in the mission to bring the animals to safety.
