Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters that Israel's government vote this week to annex the West Bank would "threaten" the peace process, saying it was not a serious effort but rather one deployed to "embarrass Netanyahu, while the vice president was here."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was the latest in a series of top U.S. officials to visit the center for civilian and military coordination. Vice President JD Vance was there earlier this week where he announced its opening.
