Rubio takes up Qatar strike unease with Netanyahu
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as Israel's vital ally voices unease over air strikes on Qatar that threaten to derail already flailing attempts to reach a Gaza ceasefire.
According to the State Department, the goal of Rubio's trip is to guarantee Israel's support from the United States, before the next recognition of a Palestinian state by several countries in the UN General Assembly.
A few days after the Israeli airstrikes on Hamas representatives in Qatar, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio was received in Jerusalem by Prime Minister Netanyahu. Both of them prayed together at the Wailing Wall in the Old Town. Tomorrow they are scheduled to exchange views on political issues.
