US Secretary of State Marco Rubio distanced himself from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to seize 70 percent of Gaza's territory, as House Democrats questioned the lack of progress on Trump's 20-point Gaza peace proposal. Separately, President Trump has pushed to keep Lebanon ceasefire talks separate from broader negotiations over the ongoing US-Iran war, but continued Israeli bombardment in southern Lebanon has undermined that effort, with Iran insisting the two tracks cannot be separated. The diverging agendas between Washington and Tel Aviv signal deepening fractures in US-Israeli coordination at a critical moment for regional stability.
