‘Bibi, What The F**k?’: Biden Allegedly Sparred With Netanyahu Over Lack Of Gaza Strategy
HuffPost
Despite publicly appearing as friends, the president is privately enraged at the Israeli prime minister's rogue behavior, according to Bob Woodward's new book.
Despite the public appearance of a strong friendship, President Joe Biden privately sparred with Benjamin Netanyahu several times over the Israeli prime minister’s lack of strategy in Gaza, as documented in a new book by veteran journalist Bob Woodward.
Woodward’s book, “War,” reveals new details about both Biden and former President Donald Trump’s sometimes expletive-laden statements to and about certain world leaders — like Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin — while facing multiple international crises. The book’s release date is Oct. 15, but CNN published some excerpts it obtained on Tuesday.
It has been one year since Hamas militants attacked southern Israel, killing about 1,200 people and capturing around 240 — about 100 of whom remain in captivity, a third of whom are presumed dead. In response, the Israeli military continues to rain chaos and havoc on Palestinians in Gaza, killing about 42,000 people, displacing nearly the entire population of 2.3 million and collapsing the territory’s whole health care system.
Despite increasing disapproval from people in and out of his administration, Biden has publicly served as Israel’s strongest ally, as evidenced by a constant stream of weapons and funding to the military, protecting the Israeli government at the United Nations and providing close to no accountability for the military’s clear violations of international human rights law.
However, in private, Biden has allegedly criticized Netanyahu.
