WASHINGTON, Feb 5 (Reuters) - Republican U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday praised President Donald Trump's proposal for the U.S. to take over the war-torn Gaza Strip and said House Republicans would stand with Trump on his initiative.
"The initial announcement yesterday I think was greeted by surprise by many, but cheered, by I think, people all around the world," Johnson told a press conference. "Why? Because that area is so dangerous, and he's taking bold, decisive action to try to secure the peace of that region."
