Rubio Meets Qatar PM Ahead of Israel Visit

Despite the tensions between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Rubio will come to Israel on Sunday for a two -day visit. The United Nations is an increasingly insulated country before making possible controversial debates on the creation of a Palestinian state against Netanyahu.

Rubio and Vice President JD Vance met Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani at the White House. Later on Friday, Trump and private ambassador Steve Witkoff went to commemorate the anniversary of the Trump 9/11 attacks with Qatar Premier in New York.

After taking Israel’s struggle with Hamas to the Qatar capital, a delicate line between the two great allies is walking, where the leaders of the militant group came together to think about the US ceasefire proposal in almost two -year -old war in Gaza. Qatar is a key mediator, and while the leaders promise to step forward, the next steps are uncertain for a long time to stop the war and release hostages from Israel.

The condemnation of the strike, but to support Israel’s Israel’s attack on Tuesday, broke the hope of making a wider Middle East Peace agreement with Trump’s rulers, United Arab Emirates, and all Qatar’s anger.

Trump, “Israel or America does not advance the goals of the goals,” he said, and Qatar promised to be repeated. The US also participated in a UN Security Council statement condemning the strike without mentioning Israel.

At a Security Council meeting on Thursday, Sheikh Muhamm accused Israel of ignoring the hostages held in Gaza due to strike, but Qatar said that he would continue our diplomatic role without hesitation to stop blood loss ”.

Demirclad support for an Israeli government, which gradually exacerbates more and more international norms in the war where Hamas was released by Hamas on October 7, 2023, is a concern in the Gulf and a concern that Rubio will be forced to be handled on his journey.

With a potential sign of Trump’s unhappiness with Netanyahu, Rubio will meet the families of the hostages organized by Hamas, who is still against his new plans to invade Israel’s Gaza City in Israel. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Rubio’s return to its relatives continues to be the first priority ”.

“This is an emergency tour designed to demonstrate some kind of solidarity after Doha strikes, Aar Aaron David Miller, an old US diplomat with Israeli-Palestinian and wider Middle East under six state secretary from 1978 to 2003.

Miller, a senior man at the Carnegie International Peace Foundation, said, “They are trying to navigate in a sensitive balance by irritation, but in no way they do not apply any meaningful action against Israel.” “This is a thin line where the administration walks.”

Rubio and Israeli leaders will discuss the ‘operational goals’ in Gaza, Rubio will convey America’s priorities in Israel-Hamas conflict and the wider issues of the United States for Israeli security ”, emphasizing the Trump administration to fight the anti-Israeli actions, including the state’s realization of a state.

The visit stopped with efforts to release a pledge and cease-fire agreement to end the Israeli-Hamas conflict in Gaza and proceeded with plans to occupy the Gaza City.

The department said that Rubio and Israeli leaders will discuss Israel’s “operational goals and goals ve in Gaza and share attempts to persuade European countries not to recognize a Palestinian state.

Rubio is also expected to visit David, a popular archaeological area and tourism center built by Israel in the Palestinian neighborhood in East Jerusalem.

It includes some of the oldest ruins of the 3,000 -year -old city. However, critics accuse the site’s operators of pushing a nationalist agenda at the expense of Palestinian inhabitants.

The main organization Elad helps to settle the Jewish claim of Jewish families in the Arab neighborhoods as a way to the whole city.

In the 1967 Middle East War, Israel seized East Jerusalem, which hosted the most important religious areas of the city, and annexed the region.

While Israel claims the entire city as the eternal, indivisible capital, the Palestinians claim East Jerusalem as the capital of a future state, including the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Rival claims are at the center of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and often boil into violence.

In 2017, Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, but the movement had no effect on the ultimate limits of the city.

However, the movement pleased the Israelites and angry the Palestinians. Only a few small countries have followed the case and the majority of the international community say that the status of the city should be solved by negotiations.
