Rubio kicks off Mideast trip in Israel as Arab leaders reel from Trump’s Gaza proposal
SUMMARY: Secretary of State Marco Rubio is initiating a Middle East tour in Israel amid backlash from Arab leaders over President Trump’s proposal to relocate the Palestinian population of Gaza. While Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu supports the plan, Arab nations are urging alternatives, fearing domestic unrest. The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas remains stable, but a March deadline looms for negotiations. Rubio indicated a need for Arab countries to confront Hamas, suggesting they send troops. He will meet with Netanyahu before visiting the UAE and Saudi Arabia, but will not engage with Egypt or Jordan, which reject mass displacement of Palestinians.
