“STOP BULLSHITTING ME!” BIDEN TELLS NETANYAHU
August 6, 2024“STOP BULLSHITTING ME!”
A senior official in the Biden administration told Haaretz that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is ungrateful toward the United States and disregards the significant amount of aid it has provided to Israel throughout the past 10 months of war.
The official also said that the last two conversations between President Joe Biden and Netanyahu – one during a meeting at the White House some 10 days ago, the other over the phone last week – were difficult and tense.
“Biden realized that Netanyahu was lying to him about the hostages,” the official told Haaretz. “He’s not saying it publicly yet, but in the meeting between them, he specifically told him, ‘Stop bullshitting me.’”
The official said that the U.S. is preparing to help Israel in the face of Iran and Hezbollah’s response to the assassinations that Israel carried out last week in Beirut and Tehran – despite the tension between the two leaders – but made it clear that there would be no American backing for moves that would further expand the scope of the conflict.
“Netanyahu is trying to prolong the war instead of focusing on how to get to a hostage deal,” the official said. “It’s making it harder for us to continue supporting Israel over time.”
