US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will arrive in Israel tomorrow for a two-day visit, a US official tells The Times of Israel.
The trip will be officially announced later today, and will focus on supporting the successful implementation of Washington’s ceasefire plan in Gaza, according to the official.
It follows the visits of US Vice President JD Vance and US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to the country this week. This will be Rubio’s fourth visit to Israel since taking office in January.
