According to the news on CNN, US journalist Bob Woodward’s upcoming book titled “War” includes information about the meetings between Biden and Netanyahu in recent months and behind the scenes.
It is stated in the book that the relationship between Biden and Netanyahu became quite tense in the spring of this year. It was reported that in a phone conversation in April, Biden asked Netanyahu about his strategy on the Gaza Strip, and the Israeli Prime Minister said that they should launch a land attack on Rafah.
“YOU DON’T HAVE ANY STRATEGY”
Thereupon, Biden said, “Bibi (Netanyahu’s nickname), you don’t have a strategy.” It was stated that he used the expression.
It was included in the book that Biden cursed Netanyahu in a conversation with his close circle after Israel launched a land attack on Rafah, located on Gaza’s Egyptian border and where displaced Palestinians took shelter, in May.
It was also reported in the book that Biden used sarcastic words about Netanyahu as “a liar and a bad man.”
