Biden...a very special visit!

Written by: Attia Al-Jabarin


The observer of US President Joe Biden's visit to the Middle East finds that this visit is devoid of any political project related to a solution to the ongoing conflict in the region. Therefore, this visit is classified as a visit of a special nature and with special goals for Biden and his party. This visit comes with the approaching midterm elections for the US Congress, in which the pace of work is intensifying to win the voter's vote. Biden and his Democratic Party are experiencing an internal crisis, as they are accused by the Republican Party of not putting enough pressure and sanctions on Iran with regard to its nuclear project, and they are also accused of not being interested in strengthening relations with Israel. These two things are what pushed Biden to this visit and tour of the region in order to raise his shares and the shares of his party in the upcoming midterm elections.
Therefore, the US administration announced unprecedented support for the occupying state, which is more than four billion dollars, as well as working to increase and raise the pace of normalization and integration with the countries of the region, all of this in order for Biden and his party to win the card of the Jewish lobby and ensure that its shares are raised in the upcoming midterm elections.
This is the sole reason for this visit to "raise his and his party's shares in the midterm congressional elections." As for the Palestinian cause, which is the core of the conflict in the region, it has no share in this visit by Biden, but rather a deep marginalization, as he dealt with it as a social affairs issue in need of some material and humanitarian support.
The statements made by him regarding the conflict on this land do not exceed the microphones in which he speaks.
What hurts us and increases our wounds is that the bet among some is on America and its politicians with regard to our cause and our struggle with the occupation, because it has been proven with certainty that the bet on America and its two parties is losing.
The principle and what is required now is to withdraw the bet on America, stop all forms of dealing with it, and return the issue to its origin as an issue that the nation as a whole bears the responsibility for resolving it, the correct solution based on its belief and principle.
