President Joe Biden is raising eyebrows over what he claimed he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

After his State of the Union address, Biden was caught on a hot mic talking about Israel’s war against Hamas.

“I told him, Bibi, and don’t repeat this, but you and I are going to have a ‘come to Jesus’ meeting,” the president said.

He added, “I’m on a hot mic here. Good. That’s good.”

Several commentators noted Netanyahu is Jewish and mocked Biden for his wording:

During his speech, Biden said Israel has an “added burden” in how it conducts it war against Hamas because it “hides and operates among the civilian population like cowards — under hospitals, day care centers and all the like. There’s also a fundamental responsibility, though, to protect innocent civilians in Gaza.”
