Marco Rubio expressed regret over tensions in the occupied West Bank, where conflicts occur between Israeli settlers and the Palestinian population. The official addressed the humanitarian situation in the region during his statements.
However, the diplomat ruled out the possibility of imposing sanctions similar to those applied by 12 Western countries. This position contrasts with the measures adopted by other nations in the Western bloc regarding the conflict.
Rubio's position reflects the traditional approach of the United States regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, remaining aligned with American foreign policy of not imposing direct sanctions on Israel over settlement-related issues.
