US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Sunday (local time) lauded the coalition of the Arab nations strung together by US President Donald Trump for ending the Gaza conflict. Rubio said that this was no political coalition, but they were dealing with terrorists.

In a post on X, he said, "We're not dealing with a political movement, we're dealing with killers, savages, and terrorists. But what gives us hope is the coalition US President Donald Trump built that is pushing in the same direction with us to get the hostages released and the conflict resolved."
