A month before the elections, and at the height of pressure: the first appearance of the White House press secretary
Incoming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt will hold her first press briefing tomorrow, just days after Donald Trump confirmed her appointment. Leavitt, a conservative attorney and commentator, replaces Karoline Leavitt who left in August. For the Israeli audience, her entry may signal a particularly friendly line, after she defended Netanyahu and attacked New York officials who threatened to arrest him.
Incoming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt will hold her first press briefing tomorrow (Tuesday, October 12). The announcement was made by President Donald Trump on Truth Social, just days after he confirmed her appointment. Leavitt, a conservative attorney and commentator, replaces Karoline Leavitt who left the position last August. Until recently, she served as a senior communications advisor at Trump Media Group and is known for her appearances on Fox News and Newsmax. For the Israeli audience, her entry may signal a particularly friendly line: in recent months, she defended Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and attacked New York officials who threatened to arrest him under International Criminal Court warrants, which she called "rogue diplomacy." At the same time, she publicly supported efforts to disarm Hamas.
