Joe Biden Reportedly Calls Benjamin Netanyahu ‘A Bad F**king Guy’
Columnist Jonathan Martin has reported that unnamed sources have revealed President Joe Biden’s alleged disparaging remarks about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This latest four-letter outburst follows Biden’s previous comment about former President Donald Trump, whom he reportedly called a sick fuck, according to sources close to the president. While the White House has refrained from commenting on the alleged profanity directed at Trump, Biden’s former press secretary, Jen Psaki, expressed no doubt that the president used such language to describe his rival.
Even MSNBC host Joe Scarborough encouraged Biden to openly unleash his private anger at Trump, supporting a more unrestrained approach from the commander-in-chief. However, Biden’s spokesperson, Andrew Bates, strongly denied the alleged remark about Netanyahu, stating unequivocally that the president did not make such a comment and would not do so. Bates emphasized the existing respectful relationship between the two leaders, which spans several decades and extends both publicly and privately.
The alleged comment came to light in a column by Jonathan Martin that examined how Biden’s support for Israel in the Gaza war has been impacting his popularity among younger voters. Martin reported that President Biden is deeply suspicious of Netanyahu, harboring concerns that the Israeli leader may be attempting to manipulate the US into a broader Middle East conflict. There is apprehension that such a scenario would lead to greater American involvement, entangling not only weapons but also American troops in the region.
Biden’s endorsement of Israel’s prolonged counter-offensive following the October 7 attack by Hamas militants is also diminishing his support among some Arab and Muslim Americans. The president’s stance has drawn criticism from those who believe it ignores the suffering of Palestinians caught in the crossfire.
The latest reported comment, if true, underscores the complexity of the relationship between the United States and Israel. While Biden’s support for the country is well known, there appear to be underlying concerns about Netanyahu’s intentions and the potential ramifications for American interests in the region. As support among younger voters wanes and criticism mounts from Arab and Muslim Americans, Biden may face challenges in managing his foreign policy objectives and maintaining a broad coalition of support.
The White House has not issued an official statement regarding Martin’s column or the alleged comments made by President Biden. It remains to be seen how these revelations will impact US-Israel relations and Biden’s overall standing with various voter groups. As the details continue to unfold, it is clear that the intersection of foreign policy, domestic politics, and personal relationships will shape the path forward for the Biden administration.
