On Monday, Fox News host Lawrence Jones asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if the Biden administration is asking Israel to scale back its war in Gaza. Netanyahu responded, saying, “Let me tell you something…. I’ve seen these recent polls where 82 percent of Americans support Israel in its battle against Hamas, 82 percent. That’s been constant over the last five months. So they recognize that our battle is your battle, and our victory is your victory.”
After the State of the Union speech last week, President Joe Biden told Senator Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) that he told Netanyahu, “I told him, Bibi, don’t repeat this, but you and I are going to have a come to Jesus meeting.”
Biden stated that the expression was a Delaware figure of speech, “meaning a serious meeting.” Netanyahu responded to the remark, stating, “I don’t know, I’m not familiar with the term, even though Jesus wasn’t born that far away from here. I can tell you that if it means having a heart-to-heart conversation we’ve had that plenty of times over the 40 years that I’ve known Joe Biden and over the 12 or 13 conversations that we’ve had since the beginning of the war.”
