Biden will travel to Saudi Arabia and the Occupied Territories in July.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the US President will visit Saudi Arabia and the Occupied Territories in July.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the White House would officially announce US President Joe Biden’s visit to Saudi Arabia on Monday.
According to reports, Biden was previously scheduled to travel to Riyadh in July. However, Biden said yesterday that he had not yet made a decision.
Asked if Biden had made the decision to travel to Riyadh, a White House spokesman said at a news conference on Saturday that a final decision had not yet been made.
The president will travel to Riyadh in July as part of his regional tour, a US official told the Wall Street Journal. He also travels to occupied Palestine.
According to the report, Biden is expected to meet with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh.
The White House has previously said that Biden feels that the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia is a “hated” figure in Turkey for his role in the assassination of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashgeji in the Washington Post in 2018, and that Biden has no intention of doing so. Travel to Saudi Arabia.
But following the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine and the ongoing turmoil in the oil market, as well as rising fuel prices in Western countries, especially the United States, Washington seeks to strengthen its relations with the Saudi princes.
Biden’s decision to travel to Riyadh is likely to be widely criticized. Some critics see Biden’s meeting with the Saudi Crown Prince as a sign that the White House is ignoring human rights issues.
The American media recently reported on Washington’s behind-the-scenes efforts to accelerate the process of normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and the Zionist regime. This is likely to be one of Biden’s agenda for the trip to the region.
