   Joe Biden is on the defensive as his Middle East trip continues   
   in Saudi Arabia. This portion of the trip is intended to reset   
   the US-Saudi relationship   
      
   The president laughed off criticism that he shouldn’t have fist-   
   bumped the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), who is   
   believed to have ordered the gruesome 2018 murder of Saudi   
   dissident and Washington Post writer Jamal Khashoggi.   
      
   Mr Biden told reporters on Friday he pressed MBS about the   
   “outrageous” murder during a wide-ranging meeting between US and   
   Saudi top officials.   
      
   “I made my view crystal clear ... for an American president to   
   be silent on an issue of human rights is inconsistent with who   
   we are and with who I am,” he said.   
      
   Rep Ilhan Omar says the trip to the kingdom “sends the wrong   
   message to everyone who cares about human rights”.   
      
   Ahead of the visit, Israel and Saudi Arabia took an important   
   step towards normalising relations with an agreement on flights   
   and Red Sea islands.   
      
   Before flying to Jeddah, the president reaffirmed US support for   
   “two states for two peoples” while in the West Bank. However, he   
   acknowledged that the “ground is not ripe” to restart Israeli-   
   Palestinian talks.
