Biden's latest headache: Israel rejects Palestinian state policy

Listen on

Episode notes

Israel's lawmakers have officially rejected the establishment of a Palestinian state, ending hope for Joe Biden that one of his main foreign policies could come to fruition. Under the proposed agreement, the US would grant Saudi Arabia a security pact and assistance in building a civil nuclear reactor, and in return the Saudis would establish relations with Israel. But the condition of that was an Israeli commitment to a Palestinian state. In today's World in 10, the Times' Middles East correspondent, Samer al-Atrush, analyses what this means for Biden, Israel and the war effort.
