During a meeting in the Oval Office, President Biden shared a light-hearted moment with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, reminiscing about their long history with Israeli leaders. Netanyahu acknowledged their 40-year acquaintance and Biden's connections dating back to Golda Meir, to which Biden humorously recalled his first meeting with Meir and Yitzhak Rabin in 1973.
Biden's past statements about his interactions with Israeli leaders have sometimes been inaccurate, as he mistakenly claimed involvement in the Six-Day War while still in law school. However, his team confirmed that his recent remarks about his age were made in jest.
