Secretary of State Marco Rubio superior President Donald Trump’s “bold” plan for Gaza throughout a gathering with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday.
Rubio and Netanyahu each highlighted that Iran is the only largest impediment to peace within the area throughout a Sunday joint assertion. Whereas Netanyahu didn’t touch upon Trump’s particular plans for Gaza, Rubio emphasised that the U.S. and Israel can not return to “tired” methods which have failed to supply peace prior to now.
“The president has also been very bold about his view of what the future for Gaza should be. Not the same tired ideas of the past, but something that’s bold and something that, frankly, took courage and vision in order to outline. And it may have shocked and surprised many, but what cannot continue is the same cycle we’ll repeat over and over again and wind up in the exact same place,” Rubio stated.
Netanyahu affirmed that he and Trump share a “common strategy” for Gaza that features the entire destruction of Hamas as a political and navy pressure. He didn’t remark particularly on Trump’s acknowledged plans to develop Gaza.

“The common theme in all these challenges is Iran. It is the single greatest source of instability in the region, behind every terrorist group, behind every act of violence, behind every destabilizing activity, behind everything that threatens peace and stability for the millions of people who call this region home, is Iran,” Rubio stated.
