U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio Arrives in Israel Amid Escalating Gaza Strikes
Jerusalem, September 14, 2025 - U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has landed in Israel as Israeli forces intensify their attacks against northern Gaza, flattening another high-rise building and killing at least 12 Palestinians.
Rubio's arrival comes as Israel is under pressure from the international community to ease its blockade on Gaza and negotiate a ceasefire with Hamas. The situation remains volatile, with multiple airstrikes reported in the region.
Rubio is expected to meet with Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to discuss the escalating conflict and potential ways forward. His visit also coincides with a contentious debate at the United Nations on the recognition of a Palestinian state, which Israel strongly opposes.
The situation in Gaza remains dire, with thousands displaced and basic necessities scarce. The international community is watching closely as tensions between Israel and Hamas continue to escalate.
