Rubio urges quick deployment of international ‘stabilisation’ force in Gaza

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday said it was critical for the ceasefire deal in Gaza that an international stabilisation force be deployed “as soon as it possibly can”, with Israel potentially able to veto participants. Rubio is the latest high-profile member of US President Donald Trump’s cabinet to visit Israel in a bid to shore up the fragile ceasefire in the Palestinian enclave.
