US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Thursday  (February 19) that there was "no Plan B" for Gaza other than President Donald Trump's Board of Peace effort, as the new body met for the first time in Washington to discuss efforts to build on a fragile ceasefire that began in October.

"We have to get this right. There is no plan B for Gaza. Plan B is going back to war. No one here wants that," Rubio said.
