According to the US President, a possible reason for the attack is the close relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia.
“I believe one of the reasons why Hamas struck when they did was because they knew that I was working very closely with the Saudis and other countries in the region to bring peace to the region by recognizing Israel and Israeli rights to exist.” – Joe Biden said.
Biden also recalled the G20 summit, at which the United States agreed to connect the Middle East and Europe by rail.
“There was a statement that said that we were going to build a railway from Riyadh through the whole Middle East to Saudi Arabia, Israel and so on, and all that way to Europe. No… not a railway, but it was an underground pipeline and then a railroad,” Biden said.
The American leader said that Arab countries are interested in working together to change the situation in their region and achieve long-term peace.
“I intend to continue to work in this direction,” Biden said.
US aid to Israel
Earlier, US President Biden said that the release of hostages from Hamas captivity is just the beginning of the process. The President and his team worked around the clock to achieve the complete release of the hostages.
Biden also asked the US Congress for $14.5 billion for Israel. Of these, 9.15 billion will go to humanitarian aid.
