Rubio PROWS continued the American-Israeli partnership in the benefits of the current Gaza War

JERUSALEM: The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, insists that the American relationship with Israel remains unchanged, despite the return of the Flame on the Israel strike targeting Hamas negotiators in Qatar last week.

“We will continue to be allies and strong partners,” promised Rubio in an exclusive and large -scale interview with Fox News in Jerusalem. “As the president said, he was not satisfied with the way things happened. This does not mean that we will (to) stop being their partner and their ally.”

Rubio told Fox News that he was now going to Doha on Tuesday where he will urge Qatar to continue playing a “constructive role” in the end of the war in Gaza and the security of the release of hostages still held by Hamas.

“We are visiting them again very soon here the next day,” said Rubio. “We understand that they are thwarted on this subject. We understand the Israeli position on this subject. No matter, we always have hostages that we want to release. We always have a Hamas which must be defeated or eradicated or deleted so that we can reach peace that everyone says they want.”

Rubio’s trip to Qatar, a great non-nato ally, comes just one day after the country has organized an Arab-Islamic summit on Israel’s strike. A Summit resolution project criticizes Israel for “threatening the prospects for peace and coexistence in the region”.

“We are trying to ensure that everyone remains focused on what’s going on in the future, not just focusing on what has already happened with what happened last week in Doha,” Rubio told Fox News. “We want everyone to focus on (what) comes next, because we always have these problems that we have to solve.”

Rubio refused to say if the United States supports Israel’s plans to move forward with annexed plans in the West Bank, but blamed the countries for having forced Israel’s hand for having declared that they would recognize a Palestinian state.

“We have warned that this would oblige Israel to do things now in reaction, and I think that part of this conversation on the annexation is in response to what comes out of Europe and Canada and other countries with this Palestinian state movement, which is largely more symbolic, but it nevertheless has these real implications in terms of more difficult appointment.”

Rubio denied that Russian President Vladimir Putin was “embraced” by his summit with President Trump last month, despite recent Russian drone forays in Poland and Romania.

“This is an example of the reason why this war, thinks the president, must end. Wars will generally get worse. They will worse in fact, no better,” Rubio told Fox News. “Understand that these drone operations are far from the front lines. They have no impact on the front lines. They are largely designed to weaken each other, and Ukraine also leads strikes in Russia, and this is one of the reasons why the president said that he wanted this war to end.”

Rubio also challenged the statements that the United States “put a bonus” on the head of the Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro after announcing last month a reward of $ 50 million for information leading to his arrest.

“Nicolas Maduro was charged by the South New York district. A great jury made an indictment. They read the evidence, they saw the evidence, they returned an indictment, not only against him personally, but against a network of people in this country who use the aircraft of what they claim to be government to direct drug traffic operations,” said Rubio.

“He is not the president of Venezuela, this is the title he gave himself,” he added. “What he is is someone who is independent of some of the government’s instruments, and they use it to exploit a drug cartel from Venezuelan territory,” he added.

“When you are doing drug trafficking in the United States, you get involved in the domestic affairs of America, when you push drugs to the United States of America, you are a direct threat to national security and the national interest of the United States. And that’s what we are talking about.”
