A cockroach interrupted the press conference of U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller at the White House yesterday, Thursday, prompting Miller to stop his speech and say, "There's a cockroach on the wall... it seems there is no insect repellent." Miller continued, "I apologize for the interruption, but its large size caught my attention." A participant responded, "I'll catch it as soon as you're done speaking." Miller was making statements about Secretary of State Antony Blinken's meeting with Israeli officials and also addressed the escalation between Lebanon and Israel.
