Biden Recalls Telling Netanyahu in October 2023, ‘You Can’t Carpet-Bomb These Communities’

Washington (Quds News Network)- Outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden recalled in an interview a conversation he had with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shortly after the Israeli genocide in Gaza began, in which he told him, “You can’t be carpet-bombing these communities.”
In an interview with MSNBC, he said that Netanyahu then countered that the US had used nuclear bombs in civilian areas in World War Two.
Biden said Netanyahu told him, “well, you did it, you carpet bombed.” Not his exact words, but “you carpet bombed Berlin. You dropped a nuclear weapon.”
“I said: ‘But that’s why we came up with the UN,’” Biden recalled responding.
“And he made a legitimate argument, his perspective, and said, ‘Look, these are the guys that killed my people,’” he said, adding that he doesn’t believe Netanyahu held up negotiations to achieve a prisoner-ceasefire deal with Hamas for his own political interests.
“I do think he’s in a position where, even now, it takes a lot of courage and to take on that coalition he has, because they could vote him out of office tomorrow,” the outgoing US president said.
