President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu exchanged brief praises before holding meetings together in New York City during the U.N. General Assembly.
* Biden and other officials are reportedly frustrated with Netanyahu's refusal to carry out key US priorities
* The pair haven't spoken in 20 days since December 23 when Biden ended a phone call saying 'this conversation is over'
* Biden is annoyed Netanyahu won't release Palestinian tax revenues and is worried they aren't going to wind down their bombardment of Gaza
Joe Biden has grown frustrated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as they haven't spoken in 20 days as the president's patience has reportedly run out with the non-stop bombing of Gaza. Since the October 7 attack by Hamas, Biden has given the Israel administration his full support, but is reportedly now angry the prime minister keeps rejecting his proposals.
The two last spoke on December 23, when Netanyahu rejected Biden's request that Israel release Palestinian tax revenues, and an angry Biden ended the phone call saying 'this conversation is over.'

Biden apes his handler Obama. No surprise there.
Biden goes so far as to adopt some of Obama's colloquialisms. When you are around other people that is bound to happen. Yet to such an extent? Does Biden have a mind of his own?
It has been said that Biden has not really changed his positions out of any conviction. Rather Biden is in the middle of the Democrat party. If it shifts left, he shifts left. If it shifts right, he shifts right.
Sounds about right
Biden isn’t capable of coherent speech. What would be the point?
