Biden: Mutual flights between Saudi Arabia and Israel will begin.
Saying that the Saudi leaders agreed to open their airspace to Zionist flights, the American president said that he also discussed the ceasefire in Yemen with Riyadh officials.
US President Joe Biden attended a press conference at his hotel in Jeddah on Saturday morning.
At the beginning of this meeting, Biden said that mutual flights between the Zionist regime and Saudi Arabia will be opened: “Thanks to the consultation with the Saudi leaders, we were able to open the airspace of the kingdom to all airlines.”
According to the American media, he stated: “We talked about the importance of freedom of navigation for everyone, including Israel. We discussed strengthening our position in the coming decades and investing in 5G technology in coordination with partners.”
Saying that he talked about the ceasefire in Yemen with the Saudi authorities, the American president explained: “The Saudi authorities have agreed to extend and deepen the ceasefire in Yemen.”
Biden said about the Saudis helping to fill the place of Russian oil and gas: “I talked with the Saudi authorities about the issue of energy and the need to meet the needs of the markets, and I expect practical steps from Riyadh. We are looking for a reduction in energy prices and we have to wait two weeks to see this reduction.”
Stating that America will not leave space in the West Asian region empty for Russia and China to occupy, he added: “I had a series of good meetings and we talked about the defense needs of Saudi Arabia.”
Claiming that he had warned Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman about any future attack on opponents of the Saudi regime, the US president stated that he had raised the issue of the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi against Riyadh, but bin Salman said that he personally had nothing to do with This is not a crime.
Biden said about this: “Regarding Khashoggi’s murder, I said very clearly that the silence of an American president on the issue of human rights is inconsistent with who we are and who I am.” He basically said he wasn’t personally responsible for it. I indicated that I thought he was responsible. He said that he is not personally responsible for it and has taken action against those who were responsible.
