US secretary of state says Trump ‘not happy’ about Israel’s attack on Hamas leaders in Qatar, its first such strike against US ally
US secretary of state Marco Rubio headed to Israel on Sunday amid tensions with US allies in the Middle East over Israel’s strike on Hamas leaders in Qatar and expansion of settlements in the occupied West Bank.
Speaking to reporters before departure, Rubio reiterated that the US and Trump were not happy about the strikes, but that it was “not going to change the nature of our relationship with the Israelis”.
Official figures indicate net migration is falling, yet concern among Britons is close to the highest it has been since polling began in 1974
Rolling news coverage of protests outside asylum hotels, a series of government announcements on asylum seekers, and Reform’s party conference meant that immigration was once again the political topic of the summer.
In August almost half of Britons (48%) listed immigration as one of the top issues facing the UK. This year has recorded the highest concerns over immigration – outside of one other period during the 2015 Europe migrant crisis – since polling company Ipsos started asking the question in 1974.
US secretary of state Rubio will meet Netanyahu to discuss a possible annexation of parts of the West Bank, as Western countries prepare to recognize a Palestinian state.
