Rubio Calls Western Recognition of Palestine ‘Irrelevant,’ Blames It for Derailing Hostage Talks

Senator Marco Rubio has criticized Western recognition of Palestine, describing it as “irrelevant” and blaming it for complicating and derailing ongoing hostage negotiations. According to Rubio, this political move has negatively impacted efforts to secure the release of hostages.

Rubio also commented on former President Donald Trump’s stance regarding the hostage situation. He said that Trump would be uninterested in a partial hostage deal, emphasizing that the former US president “wants all 48 hostages out, including the 20 who are alive and the 28 who are deceased.”

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio highlighted the importance of achieving a complete resolution rather than settling for partial agreements in this sensitive matter.
