US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a Monday interview for al-Jazeera television, criticized European members of the North Atlantic Alliance for insufficient support of the United States during the war with Iran. Rubio specifically targeted Spain and other NATO countries, which, according to him, "abandoned" Washington "in a time of need." The secretary declared that after the Iranian war, the US will have to reassess the functioning of the alliance itself and its approach to the organization. hnonline.sk ↗ aktuality.sk ↗

In addition to the criticism of NATO, reports have also emerged about the position of US Vice President James David Vance in the context of future presidential elections. Vance has become the clear favorite of the Republican party base for the office of future president, according to a vote at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Grapevine, Texas. In an unofficial vote, he won with a significant majority of support, thereby beating out his competitor Marco Rubio. ta3.com ↗ seznamzpravy.cz ↗

On the Israeli side of the regional situation, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized that Israel has achieved more than half of its strategic objectives in the war against Iran. Rubio's pressure for a change in NATO's functioning reflects American frustration with the insufficient contribution of European allies to security challenges in the Middle East and suggests that the United States may change its approach to traditional alliances. teraz.sk ↗ aktuality.sk ↗
