(JNS) The Biden administration has denied a report that the U.S. president has a strongly negative view of Benjamin Netanyahu and has used crude language to describe Israel's prime minister.
A Politico story on Sunday said that the president is "deeply suspicious" of Israel's leader and had said privately that Netanyahu was a “bad f***ing guy.”
In response, Biden spokesman Andrew Bates said, “The president did not say that, nor would he," adding that the two heads of state have “a decades-long relationship that is respectful in public and in private.”
The story focused on the assertion that the White House's support for Israel's war against Hamas is politically "untenable” potentially costing the president millions of liberal votes.
