US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington would provide “unwavering support” to Israel in the war in Gaza as he called for the eradication of Hamas during a visit to the US ally yesterday.

“The people of Gaza deserve a better future, but that better future cannot begin until Hamas is eliminated,” Rubio told reporters next to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“You can count on our unwavering support and commitment to see come to fruition.”

Netanyahu said Rubio's visit was a “clear message” the United States stood with Israel and praised US President Donald Trump for his backing, calling him the “greatest friend that Israel has ever had”.
