Joe Biden said ‘18 of the 19 people who work for Netanyahu are liars'
US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Author and journalist Bob Woodward in his new book “War” has now provided more insights into the level of distrust among US President Joe Biden and Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu. According to excerpts from the book, Biden didn’t just call Netanyahu ‘fu**ing liar’ and ‘the son of a bi**h’ but also labelled close aides of Bibi as ‘liars.’
Biden reportedly said that “18 of the 19 people who work for Netanyahu are liars,” with Woodward saying there has been “total distrust.”
But the author adds that despite the glaring tensions between the two leaders, the geopolitical reality is that “We are allies of Israel, and Biden sticks to that.”
“But Biden’s policy really is pro-Israel,” the author writes.
