Biden say India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor could be one of the reasons for Hamas' attack on Israel

Washington -- US President Joe Biden has said that he is convinced that one of the reasons why Hamas launched a terrorist attack on Israel was because of the recent announcement during the G-20 Summit in New Delhi on the ambitious India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor that integrates the entire region with a network of railroad.

Israel has launched a massive counter-offensive against Hamas after unprecedented attacks by the militant group on October 7 killed more than 1,400 people.

Biden told reporters at a joint news conference with the visiting Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese that his analysis is based on his instinct and does not have any proof for this.

“I'm convinced one of the reasons Hamas attacked when they did, and I have no proof of this, just my instinct tells me, is because of the progress we were making towards regional integration for Israel, and regional integration overall. We can't leave that work behind,” Biden said.

This is the second time in less than a week that Biden has mentioned the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEEC) as a potential reason for the terrorist attack by Hamas.

The new economic corridor, which many see as an alternative to China's Belt and Road Initiative, was jointly announced by the leaders of the US, India, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, France, Germany, Italy and the European Union on the sidelines of the G20 summit in September.

The corridor comprises an eastern corridor connecting India to the Gulf region and a northern corridor connecting the Gulf region to Europe.

Biden said in the past few weeks, he has spoken to leaders throughout the region, including King Abdullah of Jordan, President Sisi of Egypt, President Abbas of the Palestinian Authority, and Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia about making sure there's real hope in the region for a better future about the need to work toward a greater integration for Israel while insisting that the aspirations of the Palestinian people will be part, will be part of that future as well.

“Mr. President, can you say something about the massacre carried out by Hamas in Israel?”
“Oh, the G-20 Summit in India? That economic corridor idea between India and Europe? Sure, I’d love to talk about global economic agreements and the US trade perspective. Thanks for asking about that ...”

Wow, he's convinced with no evidence, and admits it!

Imagine the media uproar if Trump had said this...

The India-Mideast-Europe corridor threatens Iran, benefits the Saudis and integrates Israel into a major international economic initiative. It certainly makes sense that Iran would want to disrupt anything which ties the Saudis and Israelis together, and Biden isn't the first guy to see the connection.

Just because Biden says the sky is blue doesn't mean it's red. Trump almost certainly sees the connection too.

The fact that their Mohammedan ideology teaches them to hate and kill all Jews and Christians had nothing to do with it of course.

Hamas attacked Israel because Iran ordered it to do so.

The sole reason for the attack was to disrupt the ongoing detante between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

That has not happened

I believe it was General Sheridan who noted “The only good Iranian Mullah is a dead Iranian Mullah”
