12:05 pm
a handshake. fist bump. what was it going to be really consumed? the american media? it can so the white house and really distracted from some of the foreign policy goals that it had coming to this trip. so now that that is out of the way, even though it was messy for the white house, maybe didn't go as planned, obviously didn't go the way they would like in terms of how it was received. now they can concentrate on the substance of what they're here for. that is encouraging the saudi kingdom to put more oil, to work with the gulf allies, to try and reassert america's position in the region. that's what these meetings are all about. so the u. s. president, we've seen him now, he's having a series of what we called by laterals. this is sort of one on one meetings with various leaders of the, of various nations. so for example, the u. e. iraq. egypt. then he is going to broaden those meetings out. he's meeting with the golf cooperation council. this is known as the g, c. c plus 3. so that is iraq, jordan egypt again. and what this is, is again,

12:07 pm
achieved. he's going back empty handed. that's a problem. and the reason is, the problem is because the fuel price in the united states record high inflation is high. the president's approval is low in the united states. he needed this badly and he's going back empty handed. it's not a good look. and it's a problem for a president that has looming congressional elections for his democratic party come november, indeed can be held at our white house correspondent, thank you. what president biden has been in israel and the occupied territory on friday. following his departure, the israeli military said it carried out an asteroid on a hamas target in garza to raucous with fire to words. israel. the army says a hit a weapons manufacturing site. it says at least 2 rockets were fired from garza over the southern israeli city of ash, cologne, and one was intercepted i it's air defense system mon,
