MR. CARNEY: Good afternoon. Thanks for joining us here today in Phonm Penh. As you know, the President has had some bilats this morning and some other meetings that he’s participating in.
I have Ben Rhodes, Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications, who can give you an overview of the President’s day and also can answer questions about the meetings, about the trip, and other matters. I’m here to take questions on non-foreign policy related issues, if you have any.
And with that, I’ll turn it over to Ben.
Q Jay, before you begin, there’s a break in the story about the Secretary of State going to Israel. Can you confirm that?
MR. RHODES: We’ll address it, Mark.
MR. CARNEY: We’ll address that right ahead.
MR. RHODES: Okay, first of all, I’ll just give a quick update of the President’s meetings this morning and then an update on the situation in Gaza.
