Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke by phone with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty to discuss the ongoing crisis in Gaza, the State Department said Tuesday.
According to a U.S. readout of the call, the two officials addressed the latest developments in the region, with Rubio recognizing Egypt�s role in brokering the hostage-ceasefire agreement and facilitating humanitarian aid to Gaza.
During the conversation, Rubio stressed the need to hold Hamas accountable and underscored the importance of post-conflict planning.
�The secretary reiterated the importance of close cooperation to advance post-conflict planning to ensure Hamas can never govern Gaza or threaten Israel again,� the statement said.
The call comes in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump�s suggestion that Egypt consider housing Palestinians from Gaza, a proposal that has drawn significant international attention.

Kudos to you sir.
Just FYI, Hamas still rules Gaza, and arguably, Israel.
So a phone call to Egypt ain’t gonna cut it.
Keep it up though Rubio, we like you.

He’s living in fantasy land.
They govern Gaza now, don�t they.
