Watch| Slip of tongue? Biden asks to keep alive 'honour' of holocaust during Israel visit

Joe Biden in Israel

Joe Biden is off to a "meme start" on his first visit to Israel during his Middle-East trip. The US President made another error in a speech in Israel, saying "honour of Holocaust" rather than "horror." Additionally, he mispronounces the name of the Jerusalem Holocaust Memorial Museum. His "mistakes" have caused a Twitter meme frenzy.

"We'll continue to advance Israel's integration into the region," Biden said after Air Force One touched down at Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv to a red-carpet welcome while underscoring Washington's "bone deep" connection to the Jewish state.

"I'm proud to say that our relationship with the state of Israel is deeper and stronger in my view than it's ever been. With this visit, we're strengthening our connections even further," the president said.
