US President Joe Biden has now given a new reason why Hamas attacked Israel. Joe Biden has given the reason for Hamas attack on Israel at a time when terrorists have released two US hostages a day earlier. Biden said Hamas attacked because of Israel’s efforts to normalize relations with Saudi Arabia. Biden said that it seemed that Hamas did not want Israel to normalize its relations with Saudi Arabia. Therefore this could be the main reason for the attack.
Hamas has released two American citizens held hostage on Friday. Hamas has cited humanitarianism as the reason behind the release of American hostages. Hamas still holds 200 people hostage. There are citizens of different countries in it. US President Joe Biden assured on Friday that his government will provide all possible help to ensure the safe return of both citizens to their country and help them recover from this shock. Biden thanked the governments of Qatar and Israel for their cooperation in securing the release of an American woman and her teenage daughter held hostage.
Biden spoke to the hostages on the phone
Immediately after their release, Biden spoke to both hostages and their families on the phone. “Today we secured the release of two American citizens taken hostage by Hamas during the horrific terrorist attack against Israel on October 7,” the president said in a statement. She has endured a terrible ordeal and I am very happy that she will soon be reunited with her family, who are devastated by fear. These individuals and their families will receive the full support of the US government as they recover from this trauma, and we must all respect their privacy at this time.

Israel wanted to recognize Saudi
Biden said Friday that he believed Hamas attacked him because he was blocking Israel’s efforts to normalize relations with Saudi Arabia, the Associated Press (AP) reported. Biden said at an event, “One of the reasons why Hamas attacked Israel may be that they knew I was going to meet with Saudi.” The US President indicated that he thinks That Hamas terrorists carried out the deadly attack on October 7 because the Saudis wanted to recognize Israel and they were close to being able to formally do so. Jerusalem and Riyadh had been moving closer toward normalizing relations, and Biden was working to help bring the two countries closer together.
