US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman have discussed plans for Gaza during a meeting, Reuters quotes the State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce as saying.

“The Secretary underscored the importance of an arrangement for Gaza that contributes to regional security,” State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said in a readout of the meeting between Rubio, who is visiting the Middle East, and the crown prince.

The two also reaffirmed their commitment to the ceasefire agreed last month between Israel and Hamas and discussed Syria, Lebanon and the Red Sea, Bruce said.

Saudi state news agency SPA said they discussed regional and global developments and efforts to achieve security and stability.
