United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio has arrived in Israel, where he met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as tensions mount in the Middle East over the unprecedented Israeli attack on Qatar last week, with an emergency session of the Arab-Islamic summit set for Monday in Doha, and as Israel presses ahead with its destruction of Gaza.
Rubio’s trip, which began on Sunday, comes after US President Donald Trump criticised Israel over the brazen and failed attack on Hamas leaders in the Qatari capital.
