The U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, met with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to discuss Israel's recent attack in Qatar, which has been criticized internationally.

During the meeting in Jerusalem, Rubio emphasized President Trump's dissatisfaction with the Israeli attack on Hamas leaders in Qatar. The meeting took place in the context of an Arab summit in support of Qatar, where its Prime Minister called for sanctions against Israel. The discussions also included Israel's military plans for Gaza and the expansion of settlements in the West Bank, while the Israeli army continued demolitions in Gaza City, causing the migration of tens of thousands of Palestinians.
