Netanyahu snubbed again by Trump as Rubio skips Israel on regional visit

In a surprising turn, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced another diplomatic slight as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio chose to bypass Israel during his regional tour of three Persian Gulf states. This snub comes amid ongoing negotiations between Netanyahu and Iran, raising eyebrows about the shifting dynamics in US-Israel relations. President Donald Trump's apparent growing distance from Netanyahu further underscores the complex geopolitical shifts happening in the Middle East, hinting at a potential realignment of alliances. This snub could signal a more independent US foreign policy stance.
