House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., called President Donald Trump’s proposal to “take over” Gaza a “bold step” toward restoring peace in the region.
“Of course, the initial announcement yesterday, I think, was greeted with surprise by many, but cheered by, I think, people all around the world,” Johnson said during his weekly press conference on Wednesday.
“Why? Because that area is so dangerous, and he’s taking bold, decisive action to try to ensure the peace of that region. So it just makes sense to make the neighborhood there safer. I think that’s logical. I think it follows common sense.”
