Social media users tore into President Biden on Tuesday after he mocked an Israeli journalist in the Oval Office for asking him if he will be able to free hostages from Hamas.
Social media users blasted President Biden this week after footage from inside the Oval Office appeared to show him mocking a reporter who asked him about securing a hostage deal between Hamas and Israel before the end of his term.
In a clip shared to X by Israeli journalist Neria Kraus on Tuesday, Biden replied to her question of whether he’d be able to oversee a deal before leaving office by asking her whether she could “get hit in the head by the camera” behind her.
X users were outraged by the clip, with individuals like pro-Israel comedian Michael Rapaport calling Biden’s quip “DISGRACEFUL.”
Kraus’ clip appeared to be recorded right ahead of Biden’s Oval Office meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Tuesday. A White House transcript captured the remarks made in the clip, starting with the reporter’s question.
