It looks like Joe Biden might’ve had a bit of a slip-up during a recent comment about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. When asked about what they discussed, Biden replied, “He’s coming over to help with the storm.” This response left some people scratching their heads, as it seemed out of place given the current international situation.
Given the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, it’s clear that discussions between Biden and Netanyahu would focus more on military aid, diplomatic support, or strategies to de-escalate tensions, rather than weather-related assistance. It’s possible Biden was mixing up different topics or using “storm” metaphorically to refer to the chaotic situation in the Middle East.
Moments like these have become common fodder for political commentators and comedians, sparking conversations about whether it was just an innocent gaffe or a sign of something more significant. Regardless, it definitely added some unexpected levity during an otherwise serious time.
It turns out, Netanyahu is not going to come to America to help with the storm cleanup as he appears to have his hands full fighting off Hamas and Hezbollah rocket attacks.
