First modification:
President Joe Biden visited the Middle East for a tour that took him to Israel, the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Saudi Arabia. With his main Israeli ally, the head of the White House ratified the US’s “unwavering” commitment to the security of the Hebrew state, while addressing the “two-state solution” with the Palestinians. In Saudi Arabia, amid criticism, he discussed with authorities, among other things, an increase in oil production.
Biden knows the region well, but this time he found a different Middle East. The countries of the Arabian Peninsula are states that have closely watched their foreign policy, know how to negotiate, defend their interests and know the power they have by having oil reserves in the subsoil.
Among the main objectives of the tour, Biden wanted to return the United States to a leadership position in the region. But this has generated a series of criticisms because, in his alliances to confront Iran’s advance, he has established a rapprochement with nations questioned for their human rights abuses.
Before returning to the United States, the president saw an advance in his intentions, with the rapprochement between Saudi Arabia and Israel, which the kingdom assures will not go any further for now. However, the question remains as to whether his tour will encourage oil production, which will influence the world economy, and whether it will materialize his desire to strengthen alliances against Iran.
