Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to arrive in Israel on Sunday for a two-day visit, which follows shortly after his meeting with Qatar's prime minister on Friday, in what appears to be an effort by the United States to balance relations in the Middle East.
During his visit, Rubio and Israeli leaders will discuss "operational goals" in Gaza, and America's priorities in Israeli and broader Middle Eastern security, with an emphasis on the Trump administration’s commitment “to fight anti-Israel actions including unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state,” the State Department said.
