After being questioned about a possible hostage deal on Tuesday, President Joe Biden bizarrely asked an Israeli reporter whether she could “get hit in the head” by a camera behind her.

Neira Kraus, an Israeli journalist, questioned Biden about his previous claim regarding how he could “get a hostage deal” by the end of his presidential term.
After hearing the question, Biden responds, saying: “Do you think that you can get hit in the head by the camera behind you?”
The president then moved on to his discussion in the Oval Office with Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
Kraus post translation: “Note the depth of the misery. I’m asking the US president about the abductees because I think it’s the most important issue to deal with. He avoids the question of whether there will be a deal until the end of his term. Bibism celebrates. insulting.”
The hostages that Hamas is currently holding following the October 7th attack on Israel were the subject of Kraus’ inquiry.
At least 251 individuals were kidnapped by Hamas and other Islamist groups who assisted in the aftermath. 73 of them were reportedly executed on October 7th, or while in captivity, 117 hostages had been brought back to Israel alive as of August 28th, 2024, and 37 more bodies were returned home.
Later, in response to requests for a ceasefire, Biden previously stated, “We should have those hostages released, and then we can talk.”
Alyssa Farah Griffin of “The View” chimed in with her own comments as well in regards to Biden’s strange attempt at a joke.
“Are we really surprised millions of Americans felt gaslit about Biden’s condition and mental sharpness?” she posted on X.
In a statement released after Donald Trump’s presidential triumph last week, Hamas listed five demands for Trump.
Hamas officials reportedly said, “Our position on the new American administration depends on its positions and practical behavior toward our Palestinian people, their legitimate rights, and their just cause,” the statement said, according to an independent Palestinian news agency SABQ24NEWS.
As Trump’s new ambassador to the UN, Representative Elise Stefanik of New York will take up the leadership on U.N. policy matters, including Israel. In December 2023, Stefanik had already questioned former Harvard President Claudine Gay over anti-Israel protests on her campus.
“The United States must stand with Israel’s decision to ban Hamas-infiltrated UNRWA from operating in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. UNRWA staff participated in the heinous terrorist attacks on October 7th, its headquarters housed an underground Hamas data center, and Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar carried the passport of an UNRWA teacher when he was killed…The Biden-Harris Administration has sent over $1 billion to UNRWA since 2021, filling the coffers of this terrorist front. This must end,” Stefanik stated.
