US secretary of state discusses Gaza and Syria with Israeli counterpart

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar to discuss the Gaza peace plan and regional stability. The talks precede a scheduled White House meeting between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later this month.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio held discussions with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar on Wednesday, focusing on the implementation of the Gaza ceasefire plan and broader Middle East issues. The U.S. State Department stated the officials reaffirmed a commitment to close collaboration on advancing peace and stability in the region.
Agenda and Regional Diplomacy
The meeting addressed shared challenges and opportunities across the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa. Minister Sa'ar noted Israel's recent re-establishment of ties with Bolivia as part of a wider diplomatic effort in Latin America. The talks occurred amid concerns over potential violations of the fragile Gaza ceasefire that began in October and recent Israeli military actions in Syria.
Upcoming Trump-Netanyahu Summit
The diplomatic meeting sets the stage for a planned visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House on December 29. The summit with President Trump is expected to focus on the next phase of the U.S.-brokered Gaza peace plan. This follows a public call from Trump earlier this month for Israel to maintain "strong and true" dialogue with Syria, urging restraint after Israeli airstrikes near Damascus killed 13 people, an attack Syria labeled a war crime.
