US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will travel to Qatar tomorrow, a week after Israel attacked a Hamas gathering in the key US partner nation, a US official says.
Rubio, who discussed Qatar today in Jerusalem with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will stop in the Gulf country on his way to London, where he will join US President Donald Trump on a state visit, the official adds.
Washington has been critical of the Israeli strike on Hamas officials in Doha, although Rubio said it will not shake the strong US-Israel alliance.
