Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. Senator Marco Rubio recently held a joint press conference in Jerusalem, reiterating their aligned positions on the ongoing Gaza conflict. Netanyahu accepted "full responsibility" for the Israeli strike on Qatar, while Rubio supported Israel’s stance, emphasizing the need for Hamas to be neutralized as an armed entity.

This event highlights the continued strong coordination between Israel and the U.S., even as regional and international criticism grows. Meanwhile, the Arab-Islamic summit in Doha is meeting to discuss the escalating crisis and potential collective responses.
