BIDEN TO MEET THE SAUDI CROWN PRINCE DESPITE CRITICISM

  • 15/07/2022

Before departing for a contentious summit in Saudi Arabia, US President Joe Biden will meet with Palestinian leaders in the occupied West Bank on Friday.

Analysts predict that his meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will be difficult because of the low point in their relationship caused by the Trump administration.

Later, Mr. Biden will visit Saudi Arabia to meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the country's de facto ruler.

Both the prince and his father, King Salman, will be introduced to Mr. Biden.

Mr. Biden had vowed to declare Saudi Arabia a "pariah" for the murder of Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi operatives in Turkey in 2018 two years prior.

Despite the prince's denials, US intelligence believed that he gave his approval.
