Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been making headlines this week as President Trump praised him during a speech to the Israeli parliament on Monday. Trump called Rubio the greatest secretary of state in the history of the United States, a remarkable turnaround considering the two were bitter rivals during the 2016 GOP presidential nomination race.The president credited Rubio as one of the key figures who negotiated an end to the war in Gaza. The first phase of the ceasefire held over the weekend and culminated Monday with nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners being released to Gaza while Hamas released all remaining living hostages to Israel. Trump specifically highlighted Rubio's skill in dealing with multiple parties including Hamas, Qatar, and Israel to secure the peace agreement.Rubio has taken on an expanded role in the Trump administration, wearing multiple hats as he also serves as national security adviser, national archivist, and head of what was formerly the U.S. Agency for International Development. The president noted that whenever he has a problem, he calls Rubio to get it solved.On Monday, Rubio also addressed human rights concerns in Cuba, calling for the immediate release of more than 700 political prisoners as he welcomed freed dissident Jose Daniel Ferrer to the United States in Miami. Rubio urged the international community to join in holding the Cuban regime accountable for its detention of political prisoners.Trump indicated that he plans to call on Rubio and his team of negotiators to work on additional deals, including a potential agreement with Iran and efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. The president expressed confidence that with Rubio and other key figures including special envoy Steve Witkoff, son in law Jared Kushner, War Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine, these complex negotiations could be successful.Today, Rubio is scheduled to join President Trump in a meeting with Argentine President Javier Milei at the White House, continuing his active diplomatic schedule.Thank you for tuning in and make sure to subscribe for more updates.
