What actions did Marco Rubio take during his West Asia tour and how did it impact Israel's stance?
During his first West Asia tour, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio demonstrated strong support for Israel while issuing a warning to Iran. His encouraging words emboldened Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who subsequently vowed to 'finish the job against Iran' and threatened Hamas with US backing. Concurrently, the Trump administration took concrete action by sending heavy MK84 bombs to Israel, effectively lifting a previous weapons restriction that had been imposed by the Biden administration. This military support, combined with Rubio's diplomatic endorsement, solidified the US-Israel alliance amid escalating regional tensions.
