US Secretary of State inaugurates Israeli settler-led archaeological site in Jerusalem

The US Secretary of State visited an archaeological site in occupied East Jerusalem, which is led by Israeli settlers. The site is located under Palestinian homes, creating controversy. The visit was seen as a show of support for Israeli settlements in the region, which are considered illegal under international law. The event was attended by US Senator Marco Rubio, who was a guest of honour. The excavation of the site has been a source of tension, as it is seen as a way to expand Israeli control over East Jerusalem, which is claimed by Palestinians as the capital of their future state. The article highlights the geopolitical significance of the Secretary of State's visit, which is viewed as a further complication in the already complex Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
