Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Jerusalem to discuss how to stop Iran’s nuclear plans and its actions in the Middle East. Netanyahu emphasized that Israel and the U.S. are united against the threat posed by Iran. He stated, “The ayatollahs must not have nuclear weapons,” and highlighted the need to push back against Iran’s aggression in the region.
Rubio pointed out that Iran is behind many terrorist groups and acts of violence in the Middle East, which affect the safety of millions. Netanyahu mentioned that over the past 16 months, Israel has weakened Iran’s influence and dealt serious blows to its forces in the ongoing conflict with Hamas, which is based in Gaza. He assured that Israel won’t allow other countries to use Syria to attack them.
Netanyahu thanked Rubio for supporting Israel’s actions in Gaza and noted that both he and former U.S. President Donald Trump are working closely together on these issues. Rubio stressed that Hamas should not continue to act as a military or governing force, saying that peace will be impossible as long as they remain powerful.
