‘They are barbaric animals’ | Netanyahu has full support of US over plans to destroy Hamas: Rubio

The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, has put the Trump administration’s full support behind Benjamin Netanyahu in a visit to Jerusalem, saying Washington’s priorities were the liberation of Israeli hostages and the destruction of Hamas. In public remarks standing alongside Netanyahu, Rubio did not mention the possibility of a ceasefire, and did not repeat his earlier criticism of Israel for carrying out an airstrike last week aimed at Hamas leaders in Doha, the capital of another close US ally, Qatar. When asked whether he would rule out further strikes on Qatar, Netanyahu said Israel, like other countries, would follow the “principle that terrorists would not have immunity where they are, wherever they may be”.
