Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in the U.S. to meet with President Donald Trump. He is the first foreign head of state to visit Trump in his second administration. The two met and had several conversations — first, a bilateral meeting in the Oval Office, then an expanded bilateral meeting in the Cabinet Room, and finally, a formal press conference in the East Room.
Both leaders addressed the press while sitting before the fireplace in the Oval Office earlier in the afternoon, and the formal press conference covered much of the same territory. The crux of their comments was about plans for Gaza — one that’s sure to have some heads spinning: The U.S. will take ownership of the Gaza Strip.
