Biden suggests Hamas attack on Israel may be influenced by US advancements in Saudi Arabia
President Biden Speculates on Hamas Attack
During a press conference, President Joe Biden made a bold statement, suggesting that the recent Hamas attack on Israel was a response to the United States’ diplomatic progress in the region. Specifically, Biden believes that Hamas struck when they did because they were aware of his efforts to strengthen ties with Saudi Arabia and promote peace in the region.
A Pause in the Israel-Hamas War
Biden’s remarks came at the end of his press conference, which marked the first day of a four-day pause in the Israel-Hamas war. This pause was initiated to secure the release of approximately 50 hostages held by Hamas, a terrorist organization based in Gaza.
The war began on October 7th when Hamas seized over 200 hostages and caused the deaths of nearly 1,200 individuals in border communities. In response, Israeli forces launched weeks of retaliation and a ground campaign in Gaza, resulting in a significant number of Palestinian casualties.
Continued Link to Saudi Arabia
This is not the first time President Biden has connected the attack to his administration’s progress with Saudi Arabia. In a campaign fundraiser last month, he mentioned that Hamas “knew I was about to sit down with the Saudis.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announced that they have received a list of hostages to be released on Saturday. The first round of releases included 24 individuals, while Israel simultaneously released 39 Palestinian prisoners.
Overall, President Biden’s remarks shed light on the complex dynamics at play in the region and the ongoing efforts to achieve peace.
