WASHINGTON: Palestinian Islamist group Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel that killed about 1,400 people aimed to disrupt a potential normalization of ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia, US President Joe Biden said at a campaign fundraiser on Friday.
“One of the reasons Hamas moved on Israel … they knew that I was about to sit down with the Saudis,” Biden said.
