The United States has been air-dropping crates of aid into Gaza and is organizing the construction of a temporary pier to allow for maritime deliveries since Israel has slowed truck deliveries.
“I told him, Bibi, and don’t repeat this, but you and I are going to have a ‘come to Jesus’ meeting,” Biden said, referring to Netanyahu by his nickname. “I’m on a hot mic here. Good. That’s good.”
“Come to Jesus” is an American expression for having a blunt conversation.
Reporters asked Biden about the episode as he departed on Air Force One to Philadelphia.
“I didn’t say that,” he said initially, apparently referring to the fact that the comment was not in the Gaza section of his State of the Union speech.
But when pressed about what he said after the speech, he said: “You guys eavesdropped on me.”
