Secretary of State; signed emergency waivers rushing bombs to Israel
US Secretary of State · Person · United States · in office since Jan 21, 2025
Marco Rubio is U.S. Secretary of State, and his signature sits on the paperwork that sped bombs to Israel past Congress. As Secretary of State he signed the 1 March 2025 emergency declaration to rush about $4B in arms to Israel, bypassing congressional review. During the U.S.–Israeli war on Iran he did it again: in March 2026 the State Department waived congressional review on emergency grounds for a $151.8M sale of 12,000 BLU-110 1,000-pound bomb bodies, with Repkon USA as principal contractor. Track AIPAC, an advocacy project that follows pro-Israel lobby money, lists him among likely 2028 presidential contenders and credits him with $420,421 in Israel-lobby money, all of it from PACs and donors; its numbers are an advocacy tally built from campaign-finance data, not official FEC totals. The UN Commission of Inquiry concluded in September 2025 that Israel committed genocide in Gaza.
