Watch live: Johnson, Netanyahu brief press after meeting

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are set to give remarks Thursday afternoon, following a closed-door meeting.

The press conference comes just days after President Trump floated a proposal for the U.S. to take control of Gaza. Netanyahu and Johnson have both signaled support for the idea, despite mounting scrutiny from others, including lawmakers, U.S. allies and adversaries.

Netanyahu met with Trump at the White House on Tuesday and held a joint press conference. Congress later put a hold on the administration’s plans to announce a $1 billion arms sale package for Israel.

Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas, who runs the Gaza Strip, are currently under a fragile ceasefire, which put a pause on more than 15 months of fighting.

Their remarks are expected to begin at 1:25 p.m. EST.
