White House news briefing: Watch live

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and national security spokesperson John Kirby are slated to host a press briefing Monday afternoon.

It comes after President Biden over the weekend hailed the release of a 4-year-old American girl and 16 other hostages from Gaza.

Biden also praised the cooperation between leaders of Qatar, Jordan, Egypt and others throughout the region and pledged to continue working through diplomatic means until all hostages taken by the militant group Hamas during a deadly attack on Israel last month are released.

The event is scheduled to begin at noon EST.
