Joe Biden on Wednesday participated in a bilateral meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in New York.
This is Joe Biden’s first meeting with Netanyahu since he was elected Prime Minister.
Recall, that Joe Biden first met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog over the summer as a snub to Netanyahu.
On the outset of their meeting, Joe Biden performed the sign of the Cross, a Christian gesture, as he sat across from Netanyahu.
Biden read from his notecards (of course).

“Surprised they haven’t asked me about the auto strike. They usually ask about things that have nothing to do with what we’re talking about,” Biden said to Netanyahu, according
