A bipartisan group of senators led by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) will hold a press conference Monday from Tel Aviv to discuss their trip to Israel.
The remarks are scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m. EST and follow a number of meetings the group had with Israeli government officials. It’s the first congressional delegation to visit Israel since President Trump took office for a second time.
Trump has called for building up the Gaza Strip into a resort and wants Jordan and Egypt to take in Palestinians from Gaza while the area is developed.
While Israel’s government has responded favorably to the idea, Egypt and Jordan are not yet on board, and there are several questions about the plan’s workability.
Other senators in the delegation include Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Andy Kim (D-N.J.).
