Biden Fell Asleep During Meeting With Israeli PM?
Video posted on social media Saturday, which showed United States President Joe Biden seemingly falls asleep during a meeting with Israel’s Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, had users speculate whether that was indeed the case.
Footage was posted on Twitter by Knesset member for Likud Galit Distal Atbaryan. “For some reason, the Israeli media itself fell asleep and did not notice this historical moment,” she wrote. “I thought that you should know about this. The man fell asleep and simply does not care.”
Biden and Bennett met in Washington on Friday.
“It was a wonderful meeting, especially because it was one-on-one,” the prime minister said after. “It was mostly a working meeting. There was a feeling that we’ve known each other for a long time. I found a leader who loves Israel, knows exactly what he wants, and is attentive to our needs.”
In turn, Biden tweeted: “It was an honor to welcome Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett to the White House today [Friday]. We strengthened the enduring partnership between our two nations and underscored the United States’ unwavering commitment to Israel’s security.”
