US President Joe Biden has asserted that one of many components behind the latest terrorist assault by Hamas on Israel might be associated to an formidable infrastructure challenge introduced throughout the G-20 Summit in New Delhi. The India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEEC), launched earlier this yr, goals to attach your entire area by means of an in depth railroad community.
Speaking to reporters at a joint information convention with the visiting Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, he mentioned, “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. And we can’t leave that work behind.”
The IMEEC, which many see as a substitute for China’s Belt and Road Initiative, was collectively introduced 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 hall includes an japanese hall connecting India to the Gulf area and a northern hall connecting the Gulf area to Europe.
This is the second time in lower than every week that Biden has talked about the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor as a possible purpose for the October 7 assault by Hamas that killed greater than 1,400 individuals and the deadly army response that has claimed hundreds of lives in Gaza.
