Rubio's note to Trump: Here's the message that preceded the peace agreement
Donald Trump has announced a first agreement between Israel and Hamas regarding his peace plan for Gaza, sharing the news on his social media Truth. Just a few hours earlier, during an official meeting at the White House, the president had been joined by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who had handed him a handwritten card.
The note, captured by photographers present, quickly circulated on the web. In the message, Rubio informed Trump that an agreement between Israel and Hamas was now close and he asked for his permission to publish a post on the social network, so you can announce the deal first. In fact it read: "Very close. We need you to approve a post on the Truth social network as soon as possible so we can announce the deal first.”
At that time the president was participating in a roundtable discussion on measures against the Antifa movement, but shortly after he the meeting was interrupted:
"I just received a note from the Secretary of State saying we're very close to a Middle East agreement. They'll need me very soon, so I'll answer a couple more questions."
