‘I Can’t Prove What I’m About To Say’: Biden Goes On Bizarre Rant During Speech

In a bizarre rant, President Biden claimed that Hamas decided to attack Israel because he was close to bringing peace in the region, adding that he “can’t prove” what he was saying.

“There’s an overwhelming desire on the part of the region to, let me back up, I cannot prove what I’m about to say, but I believe one of the reasons why Hamas struck when they did was they knew that I was working very closely with the Saudis and others in the region to bring peace to the region by having recognition of Israel and Israel’s right to exist,” Biden said during a press conference on Friday.

” You may recall when we did the G20 a little while ago, I was able to get a resolution, a statement passed through there saying we’re going to build a railroad from Riyadh all the way through the Middle East into Saudi Arabia, Israel, et cetera, and all the way up to Europe. Not the railroad, but it would be an underground pipeline and then railroad,” he continued.

“The whole idea is there’s overwhelming interest, and I think most Arab nations know it, in coordinating with one another to change the dynamic in their region for a longer-term peace. And that is what I’m going to continue to work on. And that is what I’m going to continue to work on.”

President Biden has radically changed his tune on Mohammed bin Salman since beginning his term in January 2021. On the campaign trail, Biden slammed then-President Trump for seeking closer ties with Saudi Arabia and vowed to take a hardline stance on bin Salman’s government. Biden promised to implement a plan that would make Saudi Arabia “pay the price, and make them in fact the pariah that they are.”

As for the Saudi royal family, Biden said there is “very little social redeeming value in the present government in Saudi Arabia.”

After assuming office, President Biden’s attitude on Saudi Arabia has changed dramatically. The president shook hands with bin Salman in New Delhi earlier this year and previously shared an awkward fist-bump with the crown prince.

During the Trump Administration, four Muslim-majority nations, including Bahrain, Morrocco, Sudan and the United Arab Emirates, opted to recognize Israel’s right to exist for the first time. Groundwork for the deal with Saudi Arabia, which Biden is now attempting to claim credit for, was also laid during this time.
