Jake Tapper reported on Tuesday that the Biden administration is being very deliberate to avoid a “public spat” with Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu.
The White House readout of President
Joe Biden’s Monday call with Netanyahu said that he “expressed his support for a ceasefire,” but Tapper noted that Biden did “not directly address” the ongoing violence when asked earlier today.
Biden test-drove a Ford electric truck Tuesday, and when one reporter asked if they could pose a quick question about Israel, he responded, “No you can’t. Not unless you get in front of the car as I step on it. I’m only teasing.”
