Khaberni - Hebrew media revealed the postponement of the scheduled visit of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to Israel.
The Hebrew media reported that Rubio is expected to arrive on Monday, March 2, instead of this weekend (Saturday, February 28, 2026) as previously planned.
The original plan was for Rubio to arrive on Saturday night and meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu on Sunday.
According to the updated schedule up to this hour, he will arrive on Monday and will meet with the Prime Minister on the same day. The media reports did not disclose the reason for this change in the schedule.
An official at the US State Department told Reuters that Secretary Rubio plans to travel to Israel but the schedule is subject to change.
The senior state department official indicated that Rubio still intends to visit Israel.
This visit comes amidst regional developments and political and security discussions between Tel Aviv and Washington.
The possibilities of President Donald Trump issuing an order to attack Iran came to the forefront again last weekend, estimates that have been repeated since the beginning of the year.
Despite escalating tensions, the Israeli army has not imposed any exceptional restrictions or additional field measures, as part of a policy that keeps decisions subject to periodic assessments held by the General Staff in the upcoming stage.
The Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the Military Intelligence Division of the Israeli army "Aman" and the Air Force, which will lead any new potential confrontation with Iran after the military operation last June, have prepared plans to manage the tension without compromising routine readiness or exhausting reserve forces.
The newspaper also noted that a plan has already been activated to organize the service of reserve soldiers in operations rooms and command and control centers, giving them a margin of rest in the coming months.
