このコンテンツについて
According to the U S Department of State, Rubio hosted Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani at the State Department on December seventeenth, marking a high profile moment in the ongoing partnership between Washington and Doha. The brief official video and readout describe the encounter as part of efforts to deepen cooperation on security and economic issues through the U S Qatar Strategic Dialogue.
Anadolu Agency reports that this meeting effectively launched the seventh round of that Strategic Dialogue. The State Department summary emphasized what it called the strategic partnership between the United States and Qatar, highlighting Qatar’s support for American objectives in the Middle East, Africa, and the Western Hemisphere. Rubio used the talks to reaffirm that relationship and to signal continuity in energy, counterterrorism, and regional security cooperation.
What was equally notable is what the official U S account did not say. Anadolu Agency points out that the State Department readout made no mention of Gaza or the Gaza ceasefire process, even though the meeting took place amid delicate efforts to move to a second phase of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. Instead, the focus in the published summary stayed on long term bilateral ties and broad security cooperation.
Qatar, however, publicly linked the Washington visit to the ceasefire talks. In an interview with Al Jazeera, cited by Anadolu Agency, the Qatari prime minister said he raised concerns with Rubio and members of Congress about repeated violations of the Gaza ceasefire. He warned that such breaches put mediators like Qatar in an embarrassing position and stressed that any international stabilization force in Gaza must be impartial and not serve to protect one side at the expense of the other. His comments suggest that, even if Gaza was absent from the U S readout, it was very much on the agenda in private.
In the background, legal analysis from the law firm Debevoise and Plimpton notes that Rubio has also played a role in sanctions policy toward Syria, issuing earlier waivers of Caesar Act sanctions before Congress moved to repeal that law as part of the new National Defense Authorization Act. That history underscores how Rubio’s State Department has used both diplomacy and sanctions relief or pressure as tools to reshape U S policy in the Middle East.
Taken together, these developments show Rubio operating on multiple fronts at once, balancing public messaging with quieter negotiations over Gaza, and combining strategic dialogues with targeted changes in sanctions architecture.
