President Joe Biden said Friday he thought Hamas was motivated to attack Israel in part by a desire to stop that country from normalizing relations with Saudi Arabia.
“One of the reasons … why Hamas moved on Israel, is because they knew I was about to sit down with the Saudis,” Biden said at a campaign fundraiser. The U.S. president indicated that he thinks Hamas militants launched a deadly assault on Oct. 7 because, “Guess what? The Saudis wanted to recognize Israel” and were near being able to formally do so.
Jerusalem and Riyadh had been steadily inching closer to normalization, with Biden working to help bring the two countries together, announcing plans in September at the Group of 20 summit in India to partner on a shipping corridor.
I really hope trump is leading that list, otherwise you can fuck right off.
Biden is pretty cool imho but I, as the son of an Ukraine father, am also very biased because Biden is helping Ukraine to fuck up the Russian invaders so well. Don’t know shit how he is handling the rest, but in Germany we also have a pretty high opinion of him.
