Part 2/6:
Rubio's itinerary included critical meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The two leaders were seen walking toward the Western Wall in Jerusalem to pray—a significant gesture symbolizing shared faith and solidarity. During the visit, Rubio was photographed signing the official book for dignitaries, an honor previously recorded by notable figures such as Donald Trump in 2017, who signed off with the message, "This was a great honor. Peace Donald Trump."
Additionally, Rubio participated in the inauguration of a new tunnel leading to the Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site, which is also contested by Islam at Al-Aqsa. This act highlights both the religious and political sensitivities intertwined in the region.
