Khashoggi’s fiance: Biden’s visit to Saudi Arabia is “disastrous”.
Jamal Khashoggi’s fiance, a journalist critical of Saudi Arabia, called the US president’s decision to visit Saudi Arabia “disastrous” and said that Biden had violated his commitments to prioritize human rights.
According to Isna, Khadija Jangiz, fiancee of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, in an interview with the Associated Press news agency in Istanbul, before US President Joe Biden’s visit to Saudi Arabia on Friday to meet with Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince of this country, said: Biden should Riyadh should press for guaranteeing human rights in its agenda.
Jangiz asked Biden to ask the Saudi authorities to explain more about the details of the Khashoggi case.
He said about Biden’s decision to resume diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia: “This is a very big setback and a disastrous and disappointing issue. By giving preference to oil and profit over values and principles, Biden will lose his moral values.”
On Thursday, in a meeting with Yair Lapid, the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime in Jerusalem, Biden said: I always talk about human rights, but my position regarding Jamal Khashoggi is clear. He did not understand my position.
Biden said that the purpose of his visit to Saudi Arabia is much broader and the goal is to reassert American influence in the Middle East. He is going to attend the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council summit.
