The House GOP conference is scheduled to meet at 10 a.m. ET on Capitol Hill on Oct. 13—one day after House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) took himself out of the running for the gavel as he was unable to get at least the needed 217 votes for victory.

The meeting comes as Israel comes under attack from the terrorist group Hamas, with just over a month until the U.S. government is set to shut down.
