On Black Friday, US President Joe Biden bought Rashid Khalidi's book The Hundred Years War in Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917-2017. This work by a well-known American historian, whose family belonged to the Palestinian nobility, characterizes Israel's actions as colonialism, and the reaction of the Palestinians as resistance.

The book caused a resonance in connection with the current events in the Gaza Strip and the general situation in the Middle East. Despite criticism of the book from Israeli supporters, Biden decided to purchase it. This step is seen as a possible hint of the US willingness to reconsider its policy on the Palestinian issue. Some experts believe that it may mean support for the idea of creating a State of Palestine.

Joe Biden, known for his traditional support of Israel, has previously approved deals worth millions of dollars to help Israel. However, the purchase of this book may indicate an attempt to balance the US position in the international arena.
