World: US President Joe Biden, in an article published by the Washington Post, tried to convince his critics, but to no avail, by completely overturning the slogans of his election campaign that led him to the White House, foremost of which is "defending democracy" and making Saudi Arabia a pariah for its hideous murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

The most important content of the article, which Biden wrote before his visit to the region, is enough to confirm the blatant hypocrisy and the arrogant view of the US policy in general, and the policy of the current US administration in particular.

Biden tried to justify his visit to Saudi Arabia by saying: through it, he will seek a strategic partnership with Riyadh based on mutual interests and responsibilities, especially oil, considering that his travel is a necessity to keep his country strong and secure, in the face of Russia and China.

Biden added, in order to achieve these things, we must have a direct relationship with countries that can contribute to them. Saudi Arabia is one of these countries.

It is noteworthy that this justification is the same as that used by former US President Donald Trump, when he ignored the US intelligence report that accused Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of being behind the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, under the pretext of US interests and preserving the security of "Israel", a position that Biden has long criticized.

In addition to this American hypocrisy, Biden's article was full of superiority, whom the US does not hesitate to use as tools to achieve its interests, and at the forefront of these interests is "preserving America strong and secure, as well as preserving the security of" Israel.

Biden says that he seeks a strategic partnership with Riyadh based on mutual interests and responsibilities, especially oil, in order to keep America strong and secure to confront Russia and China!" But what is the interest of Saudi Arabia in this confrontation with Russia and China?

Saudi Arabia has close relations with China and Russia, so why is America using it in its confrontation with Russia and China? It is to confirm the arrogant view of America that ignores the interests, but rather the sovereignty of the countries it considers its allies.
Based on the same condescending view, and prioritizing the interest of "Israel" over the interests of the region, its states and peoples, Biden confirmed that his travel directly from Tel Aviv to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia will be a symbol of deepening the process of normalization between Arab countries and Israel.

“On Friday, I will also be the first president to fly from Israel to Jiddah, Saudi Arabia. That travel will also be a small symbol of the budding relations and steps toward normalization between Israel and the Arab world, which my administration is working to deepen and expand,” he said.

One does not need a broad knowledge of American politics to know that the “stability” that America means when it talks about the Middle East region is the stability of “Israel” exclusively, a stability based on sacrificing the stability of even America’s traditional allies, led by Saudi Arabia, not to mention the interests of the Palestinian people.

Finally, the countries of the region, especially Saudi Arabia, should not stand idly by while the US turns them into pawns on its interests and the interests of "Israel", moving it wherever it wants, without any respect for its sovereignty and interests.
