US President Joe Biden has suggested a possible connection between Hamas's October 7 terrorist attack on Israel and the progress made on the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEEC). While speaking with reporters, Biden mentioned his instinctual belief that Hamas targeted Israel due to advancements in regional integration facilitated by IMEEC. This marks the second instance in a week where Biden linked the attack to IMEEC, a corridor announced by leaders from the US, India, and other nations. The corridor, perceived as an alternative to China's Belt and Road Initiative, aims to enhance connectivity between India, the Gulf region, and Europe.
