“I don’t know exactly what the president meant, but if he meant … that I’m pursuing private policies against the wish of the majority of Israelis and that this is hurting the interests of Israel,then he’s wrong on both counts,” Netanyahu said in an interview with Politico.

Oddly, the video was released by the Israeli government on Sunday, on Netanyahu’s accounts on X, Facebook and Instagram, before Politico had released it.

The Israeli prime minister’s response comes only three days after Biden was caught on a hot mic after the State of the Union speaking to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and seemingly criticizing Netanyahu: “I told him, Bibi, and don’t repeat this, but you and I are going to have a ‘come to Jesus’ meeting.”

Speaking to MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart after the hot mic incident, Biden said that Netanyahu “has a right to defend Israel, a right to pursue Hamas—but he must, he must, he must pay more attention to the innocent lives lost as a consequence of the actions taken,” adding that “he’s hurting Israel more than helping Israel.”
