Fuming families rip Biden, say he did nothing to free US citizen ‘hostages’ in Saudi Arabia
By Steven Nelson
July 18, 2022 5:03pmThe relatives of two American “hostages” in Saudi Arabia tell The Post they’re outraged that President Biden didn’t win their release during his trip last week to patch up relations with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
There are at least four Americans jailed in or unable to leave Saudi Arabia, according to their families. The cases aren’t well-known because the families opted to work quietly with the US government ahead of Biden’s visit.
Now, they’re seeking greater public attention after the leader of the free world left Saudi Arabia without their loved ones.
“I’m not a [Donald] Trump person, nor a Biden person. But if Trump was the president, these people would be home … Trump would have got it done,” said Ali al-Ahmed, whose cousin, Dr. Bader al-Ibrahim, is not allowed to leave Saudi Arabia despite facing no criminal charges.
Al-Ibrahim, an epidemiologist who was working in the country, is a member of the minority Shia Muslim community and was jailed without charges from April 2019 to February 2021.
