Rubio to begin Israel visit in aftermath of Qatar strike

JERUSALEM: Top US diplomat Marco Rubio begins a visit to Israel on Sunday, after expressing the Trump administration’s unwavering support for its ally in the war with Hamas following a strike in Qatar that drew broad criticism of Israel. The trip is taking place after President Donald Trump rebuked Israel over the unprecedented attack against Hamas leaders meeting in an upscale neighborhood of Doha on Tuesday. It marked Israel’s first such strike against US ally Qatar and has put renewed strain on diplomatic efforts to bring about a truce in war-ravaged Gaza.
