Joe Biden is making a historic visit to Saudi Arabia this Friday to promote a “kind of regional NATO.” He’ll be riding on the back of Donald Trump’s Abraham Accords.
But amid Biden administration preparations for the trip comes opposition from the Iran-backed Shia organization Hizbullah Al-Hijaz, which issued a statement against Americans and Israelis, threatening that they will not be safe in Saudi Arabia. It cites the Quran.
12% of the Saudi population is Shia. The Iranian Ayatollah Khamenei is a marja — the highest authority in Shia Islam next to the Quran. Iran is well known for its global proxies; Hezballah Al-Hejaz (aka Hizballah Saudi Arabia) is one of them, although it is “cloaked in mystery,” according to the Middle East Media Research Institute.
The infamously decrepit Biden has not only failed to earn any respect whatsoever internationally; he’s also enabling Iran’s increased aggressiveness. The threat issued by Saudi Hizballah amounts to an escalation by Iran. Since 2015, Saudi Hizballah has posed a violent threat inside Saudi Arabia. That threat represents “very real Sunni-Shiite tensions engulfing the region.”
Biden isn’t equipped to deal with the complexities of Middle East threats and tensions. His presence merely encourages jihadists. They see opportunity in his weakness.
“Hizbullah Al-Hitjaz: We’ll Resist U.S, Israeli Presence In KSA,” MEMRI, July 10, 2022:
From July 15 to 16, 2022, U.S. President Joe Biden is slated to make a historic visit to Saudi Arabia and arrive in the kingdom on a direct flight from Israel. It is believed that one of the aims of the visit is to promote the creation of a kind of regional NATO, to comprise Israel alongside Arab countries, in order to contend with the security threats to the region, first and foremost those posed by Iran. The visit takes place against a backdrop of numerous indications of an increasing warmth in the relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, among them a visit of Israeli journalists to the country.[1]
On July 7, 2022, in the context of the upcoming Biden visit and the visits of Israeli representatives to the kingdom, the Hizbullah Al-Hijaz organization released a statement in which it condemns the ties between Saudi Arabia and Israel and threatens that Saudi Arabia will not be a safe place for “our Zionist enemies and their master the Great Satan (the U.S., its president and its senior officials).”[2] The statement levels severe criticism at Saudi Arabia for hosting “enemies of the Islamic nation,” the Jews and the Christians, especially during the period of the Hajj, and refers to the Saudi and the UAE regimes as “employees of the American regime and the Zionists.”
The following are excerpts from the Hizbullah Al-Hijaz statement:
The organization begins by stressing the importance of the Islamic obligation to perform the Hajj and describes it as “the annual global Islamic gathering” in which the Islamic nation displays its strength to its enemies. However, the statement declares, “[Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed] bin Salman and the royal family and their regime have transformed the period when this tremendous Islamic event is held into an encounter between the enemies of the Islamic nation from among the Jews and the Christians on the land of the two most sacred mosques in Islam [in Mecca and Medina]. This is in preparation for the ‘Crime of the Century’ referred to as normalization, which is being promoted in the region by the young politicians like bin Salman [the head of the UAE, and Mohamed] bin Zayed, who receive salaries from the American regime and Zionists…”
Hizbullah Al-Hijaz asserts that, “our opposition and that of our Islamic people which is loyal to its religion, to this Saudi-American-Zionist policy, is derived from the verses in our Quran and the words of the Prophet and his family, peace be upon them.
“We call on our noble people to continue with the resistance to the Zionist presence in our country under false names such as tourism, coexistence, normalization, and openness and not to agree to a relationship with murderers of the prophets and occupiers of Jerusalem and Palestine, in any manner whatsoever…”
“Let us see to it that our country – its villages, its towns, its cities, its sites, its markets, and its streets – raises its voice and expresses its resistance and loathing of relations with them, and that the only way we relate to them will be to turn our backs on them and resist them…
“In the name of our noble Muslim people we assert that our country will not be an arena and a safe place for our enemies among the Zionists and their masters the Great Satan (the U.S., its president and its senior officials) and that they will enjoy no security on the territory of our country.
“People of the Arabian Peninsula will not sit idly by in light of the violation of our holy places, our country, and our resources and will continue to be a shield of loyalty for our Prophet…”
Hizbullah Hijaz is a pro-Iranian, militant Saudi Shi’ite organization established in eastern Saudi Arabia in May 1987 that is active in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain. In 2014, it was outlawed in Saudi Arabia and declared a terrorist organization.
In recent years the organization has released a few statements in which it threatens to take revenge on the U.S. and the Saudi regime. On March 13, 2022, it threatened revenge for the executions of several dozen Shi’ite operatives who had been accused of perpetrating terrorism in Saudi Arabia.[3]
In the past, the organization has also threatened to take revenge for the American assassination of Qassem Soleimani, commander of the Qods Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on January 3, 2020. In a statement released on January 5, 2020, Hizbullah Hijaz called to banish the Americans from the region and to topple the Saudi regime.[4]
It should be noted that Hizbullah Hijaz is not the only Iran-backed organization that has threatened the planned Biden visit to Saudi Arabia…….
Walter Sieruk says
Before Joe Biden goes to visit Saudi Arabia he will first stop and spend a short time in Israel.
That was announced on the news , the point being that even on Conservative talk radio news the people who listen to it are wise not take everything they here on it literally.
For example ,on the night of 7/13/22 and 2:00 PM the radio news started out with the sentence “President Biden is airborne to Israel…”
There is no genuine “President Biden” is should always be remembers that Joe Biden is such a loser that he willingly and knowingly others who are just as sinister as him but much more intelligent than him ,in different levels of power, who engaged in as schemed national election fraud hoax to make it appear the Biden had “won” the November 2020 election.
Now those power elites in appointed him in Office now have their useful idiot , as their stooge and tool ,to attempt fulfill their Red/Green alliance agenda. So Biden is really a puppet “president. In other words, Biden is a Pseudo “President.”
Therefore, it may be rightly said that Joe Biden is a fake, bogus, “President ” who is sitting in the White House Oval Office masquerading as a real American “President.”
To explain this in another way it may be ,truly, said that “This is the first time in the history of the United States that this nation has no President. instead this the US now has only a criminally installed figurehead.”

What’s w/ Biden? There was a time when his party’s Left hated groups like NATO, yet, he is now interested in inventing new alliances. In the Indo-Pacific, there’s already one called Quad, but Biden had to invent a new one comprising the US, Australia and a country that doesn’t belong in the Pacific any more – the UK. And now he wants a military alliance of Arab countries and the US. Will Israel be welcome in it? Given how influential Ilhan and Rashida are in his party’s foreign policy design, I strongly doubt it
As for this shi’a Hizbullah, I’m surprised that they are even left is Saudi Arabia, which was always known for brutally cracking down on shi’a. One suggestion – MbS should avoid any meetings w/ Biden, leaving it to his dad. That way, 2 leaders completely irrelevant in the design of their respective country’s policies will get to have a meaningless meeting, and one of them can pretend that he achieved something
PMK says
Apparently, Biden intends to include Israel in this alliance, as this is based on the history of the Abraham Accords.:
from the article:
It is believed that one of the aims of the visit is to promote the creation of a kind of regional NATO, to comprise Israel alongside Arab countries, i
As POTUS, Biden wants to be an important player on the world stage. He’s also desperate for a ‘win’ before the midterms. Many presidents who have been unable to get their domestic agenda through Congress have focused instead on foreign policy. Dems will support him because he’s their guy. If they go against him, they make him look bad and they can’t afford to do that with an election coming up.

No, it would be too much of a joke, if Biden tries to do ANYTHING with the Abraham Accords. Firstly, Trump made this “biblically named” peace agreement, and for stupid, ignorant, etc etc Biden to do ANYTHING with TRUMP’S peace agreement would just be….a joke. Or as I might call it, plagerism (copying or adding to the work of others).
I have felt since Trump made this few Middle Eastern countries, make their peace with Israel, that HE and he alone, will be the one to “finish it” so to speak. I have a feeling that he WILL be elected again, get more countries added on to his “peace agreement”, and from that point on, ALL of these rich, powerful Middle Eastern will turn to Palestine, and say to that Palestine leader, “What say you”? and all those MANY countries will MAKE HIM sign a peace agreement….it will be already ready to be signed with Israel, and will be for 7 years. This signature will be the start of the 7 year Tribulation period…the “beginning of the end”. I would say more, but I’ve typed these thoughts of mine, and the signs I’ve seen, too many times tonight, so I’ll end there, unless you write back and want to know more.
One more thing for you to think about. Every president, since the days of president Carter, has tried and failed, to make peace with Palestine and Israel. No one man has been able to. But wouldn’t you think a LOT of rich, powerful Middle Eastern countries, could force another small country leader, either economically or finacially “twist their arm”, so to speak, to sign? It’s the ONLY way, this could possible work, and this on the back of Trump, being elected again (couldn’t Trump be short for “trumpet”, which many are blown in Revelation?). I believe, I can almost say for certainty, that he will be, elected again, and will finish, what God is using him for. He, himself, is not a lone man, bringing this peace about, but only a worker to get a group of powerful countries together, to do it.
If you’ve never heard anything about bible prophecy, or Christians talking about this, then everything I’ve said, won’t make sense to you. Then I apologize for using your time.

In advance of Biden’s visit, Shia org in Saudis Arabia says country won’t be safe for Americans and Israelis
……………………………
Sickening but not surprising. The Shia don’t like their Saudi coreligionists’ policies, so they target Americans and Jews.
