Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with President Biden on Sunday and thanked the American leader for his “lifelong support” for the state of Israel, the White House said in a readout of the call.
“The Prime Minister thanked the President for his lifelong support of Israel and for the extraordinary support from the United States for Israel’s security and national defense,” the White House said.
President Biden, who has repeatedly described himself a “Zionist,” has been a staunch supporter of Israel throughout his political career and provided an unprecedented amount of military aid to Israel since October 7, 2023, which enabled the genocidal war in Gaza and other escalations across the region.
From October 7, 2023, to October 7, 2024, the Biden administration provided Israel with more military aid in a single year than any other US administration in history. Despite the massive support, Netanyahu had repeatedly complained that the US was shipping weapons too slowly.
During the call on Sunday, which came just eight days before the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, Biden and Netanyahu also discussed the prospects of a hostage and ceasefire deal.
Netanyahu’s office said in a statement on the call: “The Prime Minister discussed with the American President the progress in the negotiations to release our hostages and updated him on the mandate he gave to the negotiating team to Doha in order to advance the release of our hostages.”
The statement added: “Prime Minister Netanyahu thanked President Biden and President-elect Donald Trump for cooperating in this sacred mission.”
During previous rounds of negotiations, Netanyahu sabotaged the chances of a deal by adding new demands. While reports say that a deal is now close, Netanyahu has also made clear he doesn’t want a permanent ceasefire.
“Sacred”. Phuck Netanyahu, Biden and Trump.
Bibi: "Thank you for sacrificing yourself on the Zionist altar–Next!"
Oye vey!!!
Yep, Joseph Robinette Biden turned out to be the best stooge that AIPAC could have installed in the White House. No wonder Bibi was among the first world leaders to congratulate Biden after the Covid election of 2020.
Yes, and when Natanyahu supported the 2020 election coup, Trump was very displeased with him, and still is.
Like so many, Netanyahoo thought Trump was dead and buried politically speaking. (And nobody can say they didn’t try) Bibi never expected a Resurrection and Second Coming of Trump. This latest call to Biden won’t help him with the President elect as it will remind Trump of the Israeli leaders perfidy 4 years ago.
And? Does that mean Trump will cut Israel off? Is he going to take back everything he gifted them his first term or is he going to continue to brag about it like he has been? What exactly is he going to do differently than Biden?
Let me turn on my crystal ball and I'll let you know.
You seem to be implying that Trump standing up to Netanyahu will mean Trump will no longer be loyal to Israel. As if his first term and his current rhetoric don't indicate otherwise. I hope I'm dead wrong about Trump but there is absolutely nothing pouring out of his mouth that would give me an iota of confidence that he is any different than the narcissistic windbag that he's been his entire life.
Whew, it just warms my heart that these two fine men are mending fences before Biden leaves office. It was nip and tuck in the early stages of the genocide, but good old Joe just had to make it sound like the relationship was strained. Well, now we can all reast assured that all is right with the universe and Joe and Bibs go out as friends. Speaking of going out, if there was a god these two motherfuckers would have ass cancer and would be in a plastic tent in Gaza waiting for Israel to allow medical assistance to enter the strip.
Biden played a game with the left, he pretended to oppose Israel's aggression, while giving Israel anything it wanted, include $24 billion extra military aid, which the zionists are using to expand its attacks.
Hell Roommates…!
Joe Biden has often said publicly that he is a life-long zionist, especially during his annual speeches to AIPAC.
He has delivered the goods to his masters for whom he was a good and profitable investment.
However, I am not sure if this has been good for the American people.
Bibi ran out of dog bisque, so he had to make that phone call.
