Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed cautious optimism on the implementation of President Donald Trump’s peace agreement that’s come under strain from bloodshed in Gaza and political intrigue in Jerusalem during a visit to a new led-US command center in southern Israel.
Rubio on Friday toured the sprawling former warehouse that in the past week has become the hub for 200 members of the US military and international partners working on humanitarian, logistical and security operations in Gaza. His visit to the site occurred just three days after one by Vice President JD Vance, as Trump’s top lieutenants seek to buttress the deal that’s a top foreign policy priority.
