‘I Don’t Agree With A Damn Thing You Say’: What Joe Biden Said About Benjamin Netanyahu Years Ago

US President Joe Biden told a crowd of Democratic donors over the weekend about a decades-old photo he took with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, an aside that seemed intended to illustrate his long support of Israel and track record of speaking bluntly with Netanyahu.

Joe Biden said he’d written on the photo of himself as a young senator and Benjamin Netanyahu as an embassy hand, “Bibi, I love you. I don’t agree with a damn thing you say.”

White House officials say Joe Biden, during his visit to Tel Aviv last week, asked Benjamin Netanyahu “tough” questions about his strategy.

Joe Biden himself told media persons on his way back from Israel that he had a “long talk” with Israeli officials “about what the alternatives are” to a possible extended ground operation.
