House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has seemingly come out in support of President Donald Trump's proposal to take "ownership" of the Gaza Strip and turn it into "the Riviera of the Middle East." The Republican Speaker, who has become one of Trump's top allies in Congress, applauded the president's comments, calling them a "bold, decisive move" that was "cheered by people all around the world."
Trump's suggestion came at a White House news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was standing by the president as he detailed plans to build new settlements for Palestinians outside the Gaza Strip.
