Rubio 'Preserves Ceasefire' After $2.2 Million in Pro-Israel Lobbying
Al-Monitor reports Senator Marco Rubio's urgent meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu to 'preserve' a Gaza ceasefire. This conveniently overlooks Rubio's well-documented history of aligning with hawkish Israeli policies. According to OpenSecrets.org, Rubio's campaigns have received over $2.2 million from pro-Israel groups through the 2022 cycle, making him a top recipient of such funds.
(OpenSecrets.org data) It's truly a masterclass in diplomacy: a politician, heavily financed by interests that historically champion expansive Israeli military actions, now 'pushes' for peace after months of devastation. One might wonder if this urgent 'preservation' effort wouldn't have been more impactful before the widespread destruction, or perhaps if the significant financial contributions
somehow influenced his prior legislative positions.
