Florida GOP Senator Marco Rubio: Israel Will Have Unwavering Support from Washington D.C.
In a recent interview with I24, Senator Marco Rubio expressed his unwavering support for Israel, assuring that the nation will receive all the assistance it needs from Washington D.C. He confidently stated, “We’ll have the mechanism to deliver it.”
Challenges of Urban Warfare and Hamas’ Iranian Backing
Rubio acknowledged the difficulties Israel faces in combating Hamas, particularly in urban warfare situations. He emphasized the importance of understanding the evolving nature of the conflict, stating, “The material that Israel may need to resupply on might be different than what’s anticipated.”
Highlighting the crucial role of Iran, Rubio commented, “There is no Hamas without Iran.” He emphasized that the support Iran provides to Hamas enables the group to carry out its destructive actions. He expressed relief at the Biden administration’s reversal of releasing funds to Iran, as it would have further fueled terrorism not only by Hamas but also by ISIS and Hezbollah.
The Urgency of Eliminating Hamas
Rubio underscored the gravity of the situation, stating, “Basically, Israel is faced with an enemy that seeks their complete destruction.” He condemned Hamas’ brutal tactics, including the targeting of innocent civilians and the desire to become the dominant Palestinian faction in the region.
Expressing his support for Israel’s actions, Rubio asserted, “There is no way that the dominant Palestinian faction in the region can ever be a group that is willing to do what we saw them do just the other day and continue to do.” He emphasized the necessity of preventing Hamas from regaining strength and reiterated the United States’ obligation to stand with Israel against this “pure evil.”
The Consequences of Inaction
Rubio warned of the potential consequences if Hamas is not decisively dealt with, stating, “If Hamas is not eliminated, if Hamas is not substantially degraded, they will come back, and they will do this again, and they will do it worse.” He emphasized the need to confront and defeat evil, as history has shown that failure to do so only allows it to grow and spread.

Rubio also acknowledged the challenge of maintaining support for Israel in the face of criticism, particularly from Western Europe and the United States. He emphasized the importance of recognizing the ongoing threat posed by Hamas and the need to prevent further loss of life.
How can the United States effectively monitor and counter Iranian influence in the region to ensure Israel’s security and regional stability?
Doubt that Iran provides financial and material support to Hamas.” He emphasized the need for the United States to closely monitor and counter Iranian influence in the region, not only for the sake of Israel’s security but also for regional stability.
The Iron Dome Defense System
Senator Rubio also praised the effectiveness of the Iron Dome defense system, which has played a crucial role in intercepting rockets fired by Hamas. He acknowledged the importance of further investment in this technology, stating, “Our support for it has to continue to be robust because it’s a critical defensive tool.” Rubio stressed the need for continuous improvement and innovation in defense systems to ensure Israel’s safety and security.
Strengthening the U.S.-Israel Relationship
Rubio underscored the significance of the strong and longstanding relationship between the United States and Israel. He expressed his commitment to ensuring that this relationship remains unwavering and stated, “We’re going to stand with Israel in every single way we can.” Rubio emphasized that bipartisan support for Israel remains strong in Congress and asserted that any attempts to delegitimize or isolate Israel will be met with opposition.
Addressing the Humanitarian Crisis
While Rubio recognized the difficult situation faced by Palestinians in Gaza, he placed the blame squarely on Hamas. He highlighted the terrorist group’s exploitation of civilian infrastructure and the use of human shields, which not only endangers innocent Palestinian lives but also makes it difficult for Israel to effectively target military sites. Rubio stressed that efforts should be focused on holding Hamas accountable for their actions rather than placing the blame on Israel.
The Way Forward
Senator Rubio reaffirmed the United States’ commitment to supporting Israel’s right to defend itself and ensure its security. He emphasized the need for continued dialogue and collaboration between the two nations, as well as a comprehensive approach to address the root causes of the conflict. Rubio expressed optimism about the prospects of peace in the region, stating, ”There is a pathway forward for a better relationship between Israelis and Palestinians, and I hope that we get closer to it.”
In concluding the interview, Senator Rubio reiterated his commitment to Israel, declaring that the United States will do all it can to support the nation and ensure its security. He emphasized the importance of standing united against terrorism and working towards a just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Senator Rubio’s unwavering support for Israel reflects the broader sentiment within the Republican Party and underscores the significance of the U.S.-Israel alliance in the face of ongoing challenges in the Middle East.
