US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has signed onto a joint statement with fellow G7 members calling for a resumption of aid into Gaza and the establishment of a political horizon for the Palestinians, and expressing concern over recent hostilities in the West Bank. The Trump administration has not previously vocalized these stances. The statement was softened at the State Department's request, with no mention of a two-state solution and vague language on recent West Bank hostilities. The decision to sign onto the statement is unclear in terms of its impact or the Trump administration's position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
