US says Rubio to visit Israel on Monday to discuss Iran, Lebanon and Gaza peace plan


US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will hold talks Monday in Israel on Iran, the State Department announces, as the United States builds up forces for a potential strike on the Islamic Republic.

Rubio “will discuss a range of regional priorities including Iran, Lebanon and ongoing efforts to implement President Trump’s 20-Point Peace Plan for Gaza,” State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott says.

Dylan Johnson, the assistant secretary of state for global public affairs, writes on X that Rubio’s trip will go ahead despite the US authorizing non-emergency personel and family members of those based in Israel to leave the country.
