Hillary Clinton found herself having to deal with major Middle East political issues, such as the Middle East peace process and Iran, on her visit to a women's college in Jeddah, despite her attempts to raise the issue of women's rights.
"Among the questions asked was why the United States was putting so much pressure on Iran not to make a nuclear bomb when other countries in the region, like Israel, possess nuclear weapons.
"Mrs. Clinton did not answer directly about Israel, which has never confirmed its nuclear-weapons status. But she repeated the sharp criticism of Iran she has voiced at every stop on this three-day trip, saying the Iranian government was the world’s largest supporter of terrorism and backed radical Islamic groups that threatened its neighbors, including Saudi Arabia."
