Biden was recorded making the comment after his State of the Union speech in what appeared to be a further sign of his frustration over dealing with Netanyahu.
The US military confirmed that humanitarian airdrops into the Gaza Strip carried out by other countries killed civilians.
The US military airdropped food Friday from a US C-130, the equivalent of 11,500 meals donated by Jordan, into the northern part of the Gaza Strip. Air Force Major General Pat Ryder, Pentagon press secretary, told reporters it will take weeks for this to come together, but that the US is working as quickly as possible to get troops and equipment deployed and the pier constructed.
Biden then responds using Netanyahu’s nickname, saying, “I told him, Bibi, and don’t repeat this, but you and I are going to have a ‘come to Jesus’ meeting.” Biden has become increasingly public about his frustration with the Netanyahu government’s unwillingness to open more land crossings for critically needed aid to make its way into Gaza.In his address on Thursday, he called on the Israelis to do more to alleviate the suffering even as they try to eliminate Hamas.
