The American leader will visit several countries in the Middle East for the first time during his presidency. During this visit, it is planned to hold important talks with the leaders of these countries.
US President Joseph Biden has begun his first visit to the Middle East since taking office. In particular, he came to Jerusalem. This was reported by the Reuters news agency on Wednesday, July 13th.
The American leader is scheduled to speak with Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid, President Isaac Herzog and opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu and hold talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank.
On Friday, July 15, he will leave for Saudi Arabia. Here, Biden will meet with senior government officials in Jeddah, and will also attend the Gulf Cooperation Council summit.
As part of the visit, “the U.S. President will strengthen the United States’ unwavering commitment to Israel’s security and prosperity.” The talks also focused on Israel’s growing integration.
The media suggests that during the meeting with Abbas, Biden will emphasize his support for a two-state solution that offers the Palestinian people an equal level of security, freedom and opportunity.
Note that during the 2019 election campaign, the current US president vowed to hold the Saudi government accountable for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist who criticized the government, who was killed by Saudi agents at the Saudi embassy in Istanbul last October 2018.
The United States said in the investigation that Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, the current head of the kingdom, was behind the killing.
It will be recalled that Biden provided to the Senate the protocols on Sweden and Finland’s entry into NATO.
Earlier, the media reported that the US President during his visit to the Middle East will look for weapons for Ukraine.
