joe biden is in jetta. the 1st american president to fly directly from israel to saudi arabia greets the crown prince with a fist up. earlier in the occupy the west bank present biden to match the palestinian leader and reaffirmed us support for 2 state solution ah, on carry johnston. this is all 0 law from don't also coming to the anchors, the prime minister brownell wick, i'm a singer, is sworn in as acting president of to months. a protest forced his predecessor to flee kobe 19 lot. towns cause china's economy to slum finding phase of a global recession. ah, you as president joe biden met saudi crown prince mohammed vin,

so much on his 1st official visit to the kingdom, the to shed a fist bump in a much anticipated meeting, seen as an attempt to soothe frayed relations. biden heavily criticize a crown prince during his 2020 presidential campaign for his alleged role in the killing of saudi journalist jamal kashodi. back then, he vowed to make saudi arabia a pariah on top of biden's agenda will be getting a saudi arabia to pump more oil to bring down global prices. biden is also expected to discuss iran and efforts to prevent iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. is part of a wider drive for greater security corporation. biden is expected to make the pitch to regional leaders at a gulf corporation council meeting in jetta on saturday. was joining us now here in the studio is our white house correspondent, kimberly hallett. so kimberly, some symbolism there over whether barton was going to shake hands with the crown prince or not in, in the end, a fistfight, but not a hunching, not

a handshake. and it looked like it was clearly choreographed, as we saw, the crown prince leaving the palace. the u. s. president was exiting the beast as it's called. it was very clear that they both had planned to do this fist bump it. in fact, the white house had been preparing us for this. the fact that we were talking about covered protocols. we saw the president doing this with some of the dignitaries as he started on this trip. it was all a set up for this. in other words, we knew that there was going to be some discomfort back in the united states if the president shook the hand of the crown prince. why? because back in the united states, there is an intelligence report that suggests that the saudi crown prince may have ordered the killing of the washing to post journalists chalka shoji back in 2018. and as a result, the u. s. president has been heavily criticized by the american public by some

members of his own democratic party and human rights activists for even making this trip. so as a result, this was heavily, heavily scrutinized. how would he be greeted by the crown prince? how would he be received? and so this was watch very carefully. the white house knew these optics would be important. and so they decided, clearly a handshake would not be appropriate, but they settle on this fisma. an aside from the symbolism, then when it comes to the trip to saudi right. but what is the actual practical reason? the one main reason for this? the main reason is one reason only, and that is to get the saudi kingdom to pump more oil to bring down gas prices by increasing the supply globally. but here's the problem. we already know that that one goal that the united states has in mind is likely to not be accomplished this trip, and that is a problem for joe biden. we have just heard from the national security advisor

james sullivan and the white house press secretary, korean john pierre on air force one. as they gaggle does. it's called on that historic trip from tel aviv to jetta that as they talked to the white house pool of reporters, that we could expect that this is going to be something that could happen in the future. this may result in actions for opec in the coming weeks, but it is likely to not happen as a result of these discussions that are underway right now. in other words, we know that the saudi king is meeting as we speak with the u. s. president, because of his health, it is only going to be about a 30 minute meeting. there is going to be an extended meeting with the crown prince mohammed been selman. but already the white house is lowered expectations. that the main reason for this visit to get an increase in the supply of oil is likely to not happen. how does this play out then with his domestic audience in the u. s. is there a feeling there that somehow he's upset?

absolutely, i mean, 1st of all, we should point out that a lot of americans aren't even watching the coverage of this visit because they are so concerned about everyday issues. we have historic inflation rates in the united states right now. they are at 41 year highs. that is a problem for the president because americans are not paying attention because they're so busy trying to figure out how they're going to pay their rent, their mortgage, how they're going to pay for their groceries, which food prices are very high right now. and also their energy costs as a result, and they're, they're simply, this is a low priority for them. so not only are they struggling to pay those, those bills, but at the same time, they're angry at the president that he is out of the country. and he's not going to bring the win that they need right now. the president's approval ratings are low and he has congressional elections in november. this is a very bad recipe for winning can control of congress. and that is what he needs

for him to push through his legislative agenda for the remainder of his term. okay, we'll leave it there. white house correspondent, kimberly how could thank you very much. indeed for that. earlier my colleague marine, i'm with ida spoke with al jazeera as senior political analyst. my one be sure, he explains biden's goals in saudi arabia. i think her, he's going to be able to do 2 things. one help israel integrate in the region, which means closer relationship with saudi arabia. and he's going to help and he's gonna try to enlist. so the support in his, her offensive against russia because of its warden ukraine. i think what's puzzling, what's amazing in all of that are doing it. what's puzzling is the fact that 50 years after biden 1st came to the region, the 3 had domains remain the same. is red oil, cold war,

and hospital to worse russia. this is in think 50 years later. so what does it say about the american foreign policy since he was a junior senator to now he's being a president that was still faced with the same title in $973.00. it was israel's war with age of now it's is earl's confrontation with the one back then. so the radio hiked the oil prices because at the backdrop of the war, now there's a hike of oil prices because of again, the cold war. so really, basically, it's more or less the same dossiers coming again and again with american policy basically staying more was the same. in fact, by doing suds and his lieutenants in charge of foreign policy have said that we need to return to basics. these are the basics of 1973, israel orlan cold war or a, and it's really sad. it almost seems like instead of evolving,

we are devolving well before he left the occupied westbank on friday present, joe biden said the us will continue to call for full accountability. in the killing of al jazeera is sharina acclaim. he was speaking at a press conference with his palestinian counterpart, mahmoud abbas in bethlehem. the al jazeera correspondence was shot in the head by his ready forces in may, on reporting on raids in jeanine. it's heart wrenching with so many policy. israelis have lost their live just this year in the united states, to suffer loss as well, including the killing of charade, our blue, our care r kelly. and she was an american american citizen and a proud palestinian. and she was performing very vital work and an independent media and vital work of democracy. her death is enormous loss to the censure work

of sharing with the world, the story of the palestinian people. i hope that her legacy, her legacy will perspire more young people to carry on her work of reporting the truth and telling stories that are too often overlooked. the united states will continue to insist on a fallen transparent accounting of her death and will continue to stand up for media freedom everywhere in the world. or early on friday, biden was at the augusta victoria hospital and occupied east jerusalem. there he pledged an additional $100000000.00 to support palestinian health care services. as he wrapped up, he had this exchange with one of the hospital staff. if you have a question about a hospital man, should you don't, i will do it privately. i am, it can really seem in for them to just the visiting policy and i vote for legal i am a hit me or, or figure intensive care unit at the more profit history. thank you'll probably have or what we need more justice,

came from bates a hold there i am from with bank every day i paced difficulties in the chick boy and that many times the ambulance brained their kids to my unit without combining without appearance. and they have to change the ambulance from plate yellow doors from blue to yellow and they didn't talk about this. they seemed a few minutes to you, but i could, i couldn't see it. thank you so much to san a year, but she is the hospital nurse we've heard from talking to president by then earlier today and occupy these jerusalem. and as you hear many palestinians say that we're not looking for handouts, we're not looking for financial intensive. we're looking for an end to the israeli occupation and it's measures and violations are in shallow incur former prime minister renella. we're crim a singer has been sworn in as acting president or to go to buy much paxis resignation was confirmed. he sent his resignation letter from singapore after
