During a heated conversation on Thursday, US President Joe Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to "stop bullshitting me" regarding a hostages-for-ceasefire deal with Hamas. Netanyahu had informed Biden that Israel was advancing negotiations and would soon send a delegation to resume talks. Biden emphasized the importance of not taking him for granted and stressed US-Israeli cooperation amid rising tensions with Iran and its proxies. This exchange follows the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh by Israel, prompting Iran's vow for retaliation. Netanyahu’s office responded, emphasizing non-interference in American politics, while Biden’s recent decision to drop out of the US presidential race has reportedly emboldened Netanyahu to take tougher actions against Iran.
