US Vice President Joe Biden has said that the recent announcement of the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor, which connects the whole area via rail, road, and ports, was one of the motivations for Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel.
“I’m convinced, and I have no proof of this, that one of the reasons Hamas attacked when they did was because of the progress we were making towards regional integration for Israel, and regional integration in general.” “We can’t abandon that work,” Biden added.
The statements were delivered by the US President during a joint news conference with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Wednesday (US local time).
