As U.S. Vice President JD Vance’s visit to Israel comes to a close, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he would be traveling to the country to keep the momentum on the U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. Earlier this week, Vance announced the opening of a civilian military coordination center in southern Israel where some 200 U.S. troops are working alongside the Israeli military. Rubio said late Wednesday the U.S. is working to put together an international stabilization force to ensure the ceasefire in Gaza and train a Palestinian police force.
