Rubio says US is getting input on Gaza international force, will discuss in Qatar

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said US officials are getting input on a possible UN resolution or international agreement to authorise a multinational force in Gaza and will discuss the issue in Qatar on Sunday.

"Many of the countries that have expressed an interest in participating at some level, whether it be monetary or personnel or both, are going to need that (a UN resolution or international agreement) because their domestic laws require it," Rubio told reporters travelling on his plane between Israel and Qatar en route to Asia.

"So we have a whole team working on that outline of it," he said.
