The Biden administration appears to be nearing a Middle East peace deal with Saudi Arabia as several developments over the weekend could change dynamics in the region.
President Joe Biden's handling of foreign policy matters took center stage amid the simmering conflict between Israel and Hamas. On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched an attack against Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking about 250 others hostage. Israel subsequently launched an offensive in Gaza that has killed more than 34,800 Palestinians in the months since, the Associated Press reports, citing the Gaza Ministry of Health.
