(Feb. 16, 2025 / JNS) U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio touched down in Israel on Saturday night for his first visit to the Jewish state since being confirmed as America’s top diplomat.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar greeted Rubio on the tarmac at Ben-Gurion Airport. The two men are slated to tour the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem on Sunday. Rubio will also meet with high-ranking officials, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“Secretary Rubio’s engagements with senior officials will promote U.S. interests in advancing regional cooperation, stability and peace,” State Department Spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said in a press statement ahead of the visit.
