Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today, reaffirming the United States' deep commitment to its historic relationship with Israel.
The Secretary emphasized the ironclad U.S. support for Israeli security, a cornerstone of the bilateral relationship. The discussion also focused on Syria, where President Trump's recent meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa in Saudi Arabia was highlighted. Rubio and Netanyahu shared their mutual concern about regional stability and the need to address the ongoing conflict.
The Secretary and Prime Minister also reaffirmed their unwavering commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. This stance aligns with the United States' long-standing policy of promoting non-proliferation and regional security.
A strong U.S.-Israel alliance has been a cornerstone of American foreign policy in the Middle East, and the Secretary's call with Prime Minister Netanyahu underscores this enduring partnership.
