Little daylight between US and Israel evident as Rubio and Netanyahu meet

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have vowed that Hamas must be eliminated and all hostages released for there to be peace in Gaza, setting aside calls for an interim ceasefire in favour of an immediate end to the conflict.
Mr Rubio had come to Israel seeking answers from Mr Netanyahu about how Israel intended to proceed in Gaza and assess interest in Qatar retaining a mediating role after Israel attacked Hamas leaders in Doha.
