Watch Live: Trump and Israel’s Netanyahu hold joint press conference

President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are holding a joint press conference at the White House Tuesday, as a fragile ceasefire in Gaza continues to hold.

Netanyahu is the first foreign leader to visit Trump at the White House as the president begins his second term in office.

The visit comes as American, Israeli and Arab negotiators begin talks around a second phase of the ceasefire plan, which has so far shown promise of ending the devastating 15-month war.

Since the ceasefire began in January, several Israeli hostages have been freed and Hamas has retaken political control of the Gaza strip.

Palestinian civilians who were forced from their homes during the past year of war have also begun to return.

But the question of what happens now in Gaza, politically and logistically, is a fraught one.

On Tuesday, Trump said he did not think the occupied territory’s inhabitants, some 2.2 million pre-war, should return to their homes.

“This is a very difficult situation. I don’t think people should be going back to Gaza,” Trump said at the White House. “They’re living like hell. They have no alternative.”

Trump said he was working to convince neighboring countries to accept hundreds of thousands more refugees.
