United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to visit Israel this week as part of efforts to advance President Trump's plan to end the conflict in Gaza. The visit comes during a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, with the United States aiming to support the implementation of a peace initiative that has received significant international backing. Rubio's trip will also include stops in Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea after his stay in Israel. The visit follows recent trips by other senior United States officials to Israel, all focused on monitoring the ceasefire and supporting ongoing negotiations.
