PA Foreign Minister Criticizes Biden Administration's Middle East Policy as Weak and Lacking Courage

The Palestinian Authority's foreign minister, Riyad al-Malki, criticized the Biden administration for being weak and lacking courage in the Middle East, particularly in addressing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Al-Malki expressed frustration with Biden's failure to follow through on his initial rejection of the Trump administration's pro-Israel stance. He highlighted the administration's silence on Jewish settlement expansion and Israeli military raids in the West Bank. Al-Malki also mentioned the possibility of involving China as an alternative diplomatic power in peace talks, as the Palestinians feel neglected by the US. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is pushing for the normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel, which concerns the Palestinian Authority.
