Secretary of State Marco Rubio's direct address to the people of Israel

Marco Rubio, in his statement to the press after his meeting with PM Netanyahu, speaks out directly to the people of Israel in a manner seldom heard from a politician.

"To the people of this great country, for whom we have tremendous love and respect.

Everything you're facing have faced and continue to face is an extraordinary story of bravery.

A nation founded, and the ashes and in the aftermath of a horrifying crime against humanity.

Stood from its very inception, from the very day of its birth, against threats from every angle and every corner.

And has served as an example, to the world, of a pluralistic society a free enterprise democracy.

You can always count on us, as long as I'm in this position and president Trump is in the white house, so thank you."
