Rubio, Netanyahu affirm 'common strategy' for Gaza, set sights on Iran in joint statement

Secretary of State Marco Rubio advanced President Donald Trump's "bold" plan for Gaza during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday.

Rubio and Netanyahu both highlighted that Iran is the single largest obstacle to peace in the region during a Sunday joint statement. While Netanyahu did not comment on Trump's specific plans for Gaza, Rubio emphasized that the U.S. and Israel cannot return to "tired" strategies that have failed to produce peace in the past.

"The president has also been very bold about his view of what the future for Gaza should be. Not the same tired ideas of the past, but something that's bold and something that, frankly, took courage and vision in order to outline. And it may have shocked and surprised many, but what cannot continue is the same cycle we'll repeat over and over again and wind up in the exact same place," Rubio said.
