VIDEO: Rubio interrupts Trump’s roundtable to hand him note on Gaza deal

A note passed by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to President Donald Trump at the White House reportedly emphasized that a Middle East deal was “very close” and urged Trump to approve a Truth Social post so he could announce the agreement first, according to the Associated Press.

The note, marked at the top with the words “very close,” prompted Trump to remark: “I just received a note from Rubio saying we are close to a deal in the Middle East. They need me in another room shortly.”

The exchange highlights the final stages of coordination as U.S. officials prepare for a potential announcement of a peace agreement, underscoring the president’s role in delivering the news publicly.

No further details on the terms of the deal or the timeline for its announcement were immediately available.
