Secretary of State Marco Rubio landed in Israel today to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This important visit shows America stands with our strongest ally in the Middle East. Rubio is focused on getting our hostages back and stopping the terrorist threat from Hamas.
Israel recently struck Hamas leaders in Qatar during peace talks. President Trump criticized this move, but Israel had every right to defend itself. Hamas terrorists cannot be trusted to negotiate in good faith while they hold innocent people captive.
Arab nations are now gathering in Qatar to complain about Israel’s actions. These same countries have done nothing to stop Hamas terrorism for over a year. Their angry meetings and empty threats mean nothing to hardworking Americans who want results.
Rubio made it clear that Hamas must be destroyed for real peace to happen. You cannot negotiate with terrorists who murder babies and kidnap families. Israel understands this basic truth that weak leaders refuse to accept.
The Biden administration failed to bring home our hostages for months. Now Trump’s team is taking charge and demanding action. America will not abandon our people to terrorist kidnappers any longer.
Gaza residents are being told to evacuate as Israel prepares major operations. This is what happens when terrorists hide behind civilians like cowards. Hamas chose this war and must face the consequences of their evil actions.
Palestinian groups are crying about arrests and prison conditions. They forget that their people started this war on October 7th with brutal attacks on innocent families. Actions have consequences and terrorists belong in jail.
Rubio’s visit sends a strong message to our enemies across the region. America backs Israel’s right to defend itself against terrorism. Real leadership means standing with our friends and crushing our enemies until they surrender.
