President Joe Biden met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog at the White House this week. During the meeting, President Biden referred to his notes and delivered his remarks.
At one moment, there was a brief pause where he seemed to stumble over his words, leading to some confusion. Israeli President Herzog glanced at the press and cameras during this moment, which some interpreted as surprise or disbelief.
The meeting between the two leaders covered various topics, including matters of mutual interest and cooperation between the United States and Israel.
Later, after the meeting, the press was quickly rushed out of the room and Biden refused to answer any questions from the media regarding U.S.-Israeli relations.
This week, Democrat Congresswoman Cori Bush said Israel was a racist nation. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to comment on the President’s response to Bush’s remarks.
