US Secretary of State Marco Rubio left Tel Aviv on Saturday after a three-day visit to Israel.

He met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday and toured the US-led center overseeing the ceasefire in Gaza on Friday.

Rubio was the latest in a series of top US officials to visit the center for civilian and military coordination.

US Vice President JD Vance was there earlier this week where he announced its opening, and US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law, were also in Israel.

Around 200 US troops are working alongside the Israeli military and delegations from other countries at the center, planning the stabilization and reconstruction of Gaza.

The United States is seeking support from other allies, especially Gulf Arab nations, to create an international stabilization force to be deployed to Gaza and train a Palestinian force. 

Rubio said US officials were working on possible language to secure a United Nations mandate or other international authorization for the force in Gaza because several potential participants would require one before they can take part.
