Foreign Minister Trump’s conversation with Netanyahu about Iran and Gaza
The new US foreign minister emphasized Washington’s support for this ally in a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. They also discussed Iran and Zionist prisoners in Gaza.
According to Isna, this was the first contact of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio with the heads of the Israeli regime since the administration of the US Republican President Donald Trump took office on Monday. Both Trump and his predecessor, Joe Biden, have been supporters of Tel Aviv during the Zionist regime’s wars in Gaza and Lebanon, which have claimed thousands of civilian lives.
According to a statement from the US State Department, Marco Rubio stressed that “maintaining continued US support for Israel is Trump’s top priority.”
According to the US State Department, Rubio also had calls on Wednesday with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and the topics discussed included Gaza, Syria and Lebanon, among others.
The State Department added that Rubio told the Israeli prime minister that Washington would continue to work “tirelessly” to help free the remaining captives in Gaza.
Washington’s support for Tel Aviv comes as Gaza’s health ministry says more than 47,000 Palestinians have been killed in brutal Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7, while the Zionists face charges of genocide and war crimes. This attack displaced almost the entire population of Gaza and caused a hunger crisis.
In the situation that the ceasefire in Gaza came into effect on Sunday, it has led to the release of some Zionist prisoners in Gaza and Palestinian prisoners in the custody of the Zionist regime.
Human rights groups criticize the increase in the humanitarian crisis caused by the attacks and bombings of the Zionist army. However, Washington has continued its support, saying it is helping “our ally in defense” against resistance groups including Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Ansarullah in Yemen.
According to Reuters, the US State Department also added in its statement: “Secretary Rubio also told Netanyahu that he looks forward to addressing the threats posed by Iran and pursuing opportunities for peace.”
