The Secretary of State of the United States, Marco Rubio, was in Israel on Sunday when his military attacks intensified against northern Gaza, flattening multiple high -level buildings and killing at least 13 Palestinians.
Rubio said before the trip that he will seek answers from Israeli officials about how they see the way to follow in Gaza after Israel’s attack on Hamas leaders in Qatar on Tuesday who reduced efforts to negotiate the end of the conflict.
His two-day visit is also a sample of support for an increasingly isolated Israel, since the United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly in favor of a non-binding resolution that supports a solution of two states to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu firmly opposes the recognition of a Palestinian State.
Rubio visits Israel despite the anger for Qatar’s attack
Rubio’s visit went ahead despite the wrath of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, against Netanyahu for the Israeli strike in Doha, who said that the United States was not notified beforehand.
On Sunday, Netanyahu, Rubio and his wives, along with the United States ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and his wife, toured the Walk Wall and the excavated tunnels near him.
“I think his visit (from Rubio) here is a testimony of durability, the force of the American Israeli alliance. It is as strong and durable as the stones of the western wall that we just touched,” Netanyahu said.
On Friday, Rubio and Trump met with Qatar’s prime minister to discuss the consequences of the Israeli operation. Dual and consecutive meetings with Qatar and Israel illustrate how the Trump administration is trying to balance the relations between the medium -east key allies despite the general international condemnation for the attack.
The Doha attack, which killed at least six people, also seems to have finished attempts to ensure a high the fire of Israel-Ahamas and the release of hostages before the next session of the UN General Assembly, which is expected to be expected that Gaza’s War will be a main approach.
Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministers of the Arab and Islamic Nations would meet in Doha on Sunday to forge a united front about the Israeli attack before a summit in Qatar on Monday that will bring together leaders of their nations for upper level conversations.
Mortal Air attacks
On Sunday, at least 13 Palestinians were killed and dozens were injured in multiple Israeli strikes through Gaza, according to local hospitals.
Local hospitals said Israeli attacks attacked a vehicle near the Shifa hospital and a roundabout in the city of Gaza, as well as a tent in the city of Deir Al-Balah, where at least six members of the same family were killed.
Two parents, their three children and the children’s aunt were killed in that strike, according to the Al-Aqsa hospital. The family was from the northern city of Beit Hanoun and came to Deir Al-Balah last week after fleeing his refuge in the city of Gaza.
The Israeli army had no immediate comments about strikes.

According to reports, Israeli air attacks hit two United Nations schools that protect the Palestinians displaced in Gaza City on Friday. Local health authorities say that at least 40 Palestinians were killed in the attack. The attacks occur after repeated calls from the Israel Army so that residents leave the city.
As part of its expanding operation in the city of Gaza, the Israeli army destroyed multiple high -level buildings on Sunday after warning the residents they evacuated. Some were destroyed less than an hour after military spokesman Avichay Adraee published an online evacuation order.
According to the army, Hamas had positioned observation positions and ways to gather intelligence on the movements of the troops in the area and militants were prepared to attack Israeli troops.
Residents said the Kauther Tower in Rimal’s neighborhood was flattened to the ground. There were no immediate reports of victims.
“This is part of the genocidal measures that the occupation (Israeli) is carrying out in the city of Gaza,” said Abed Ismail, a resident of the city of Gaza. “They want to turn the entire city into debris and force the transfer and another nakba.”
Nakba, Arabic “catastrophe”, refers to a period in which some 700,000 Palestinians were expelled by Israeli forces or fled from their homes in what is now Israel, before and during the 1948 war that surrounded its creation.
Israel has strongly denied the accusations of genocide in Gaza.
“The Gaza horizon is changing,” wrote Israel Katz Israel Minister at the Social Network Platform X, providing images of the attacks that destroyed one of the buildings.
Hunger in Gaza
Separately, two Palestinian adults died of causes related to malnutrition and hunger in the Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours, the Ministry of Health of the Territory reported Sunday.
That brings the death toll of causes related to malnutrition to 277 since the end of June, when the ministry began counting deaths among adults, while another 145 children died of causes related to malnutrition since the beginning of the war in October 2023, the ministry said.
The Israeli defense agency that supervises humanitarian aid in Gaza said that more than 1,200 trucks that transported help, mainly food, entered Gaza during the past week. But humanitarian workers say that the help that comes to Gaza is too insufficient for the enormous needs of the territory.
International teams also finished the repair work in a water line from Israel to Gaza, one of the three water lines in the territory, increasing the daily amount of water to 14,000 cubic meters.
During the 23 months since Israel launched its offensive, access to Gaza’s water has been progressively limited, and the Palestinians are now supporting a second scorching summer in times of war. Parents and children often pursue water trucks that come every two or three days, filling bottles, boats and cubes and then transporting them home.
The war in Gaza began when militants led by Hamas broke into southern Israel on October 7, 2023, kidnapping 251 people and killing about 1,200, mostly civilians, according to the many Israeli. There are 48 hostages in Gaza, of which 20 believe that Israel is still alive.
The retaliation offensive of Israel has killed at least 64,871 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, which does not say how many were civilians or combatants. He says that approximately half of those killed were women and children. Much of the enclave has been completely destroyed, and about 90 percent of about two million Palestinians have been displaced.
