US Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived on Sunday morning in Israel and met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday to discuss the war in Gaza. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington would provide "unwavering support" to Israel in the war in Gaza as he called for the eradication of Hamas. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the visit Monday by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was a "clear message" the United States stood with Israel. The two leaders also held talks on the recent attack on Qatar, which US President Donald Trump has condemned. The President made careful remarks Sunday as Washington's two powerful Middle Eastern allies face a worsening rift. "Qatar has been a very great ally. Israel and everyone else, we must be careful. When we attack people, we must be careful," Trump told reporters. During the first day of visit, Netanyahu thanked Rubio for his visit and hailed US-Israel ties, as both leaders visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
