“No administration has helped Israel more than I have. None. None. None. And I think Bibi should remember that,” he said, referring to the Israeli leader by his nickname. “And whether he’s trying to influence the election, I don’t know, but I’m not counting on that.”

Biden, in a rare appearance in the White House press briefing room, was responding to comments made by one of his allies, Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., who told CNN this week that he was concerned Netanyahu had little interest in a peace deal in part because of U.S. politics.

Alternative headline: to the surprise of nobody, self-proclaimed Zionist Biden shoots Harris campaign in the foot by first saying the quiet part loud and then denying the obvious

A bit unwieldy, I admit, but much more accurate.

No administration has helped Israel more than I have. None. Yes genocide Joe that's exactly the problem.
