Unlike UAE and Bahrain, Riyadh is insisting Palestinian statehood goals should be addressed first
WASHINGTON – Palestinian Islamist group Hamas' Oct 7 attack on Israel that killed about 1,400 people aimed to disrupt a potential normalisation of ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia sought by Riyadh, US President Joe Biden said on Friday.Saudi Arabia, a Middle East powerhouse and home to Islam's two holiest shrines, gave its blessing to Gulf neighbours United Arab Emirates and Bahrain establishing relations with Israel in 2020 under the previous US administration of Donald Trump.
Blinken told CNN on Oct 8 that "it wouldn’t be a surprise that part of the motivation may have been to disrupt efforts to bring Saudi Arabia and Israel together." Biden told CBS' 60 Minutes in an interview that aired last Sunday that the prospect of normalization was "still alive, it's going to take time."
Israel responded to the Oct 7 attack by pounding Gaza with air strikes, killing more than 4,000 people, and has said it will act to free hostages taken by Hamas militants while wiping out the group.US and UK back Canada in dispute with India over diplomatsThe incredible power of blue LEDs.
