US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Monday. The meeting focused on the fallout from Israel’s recent strike in Qatar that killed senior Hamas leaders. The attack angered many countries as Qatar is a close US ally. President Donald Trump also criticised Israel, saying he was unhappy with the strike. Rubio echoed those concerns, adding the US must now “figure out what comes next.” Meanwhile, Arab leaders gathered at a summit to back Qatar. Qatar’s prime minister accused Israel of double standards and demanded international punishment for the attack. (PC: BBC)
