Biden shakes hands with former Israeli PM, begins ‘no handshake' policy just before Saudi meeting

President Biden appeared to quickly drop his "no handshake" policy during his Middle East tour, leading some to speculate that the White House adopted the policy merely to avoid a politically uncomfortable encounter later in the trip.

White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan announced Wednesday that the president would avoid shaking hands during the four-day trip out of an abundance of caution due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The president appeared to abide by the policy when he arrived in Israel, greeting Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid and other officials with fist bumps.

But not long after that Biden shook hands with former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – all while not wearing a facemask or taking COVID-19 precautions of any kind.

Joe Biden: The Jews are clean. The Arabs are like African-Americans, with the exception of Obama who was clean, dirty. I won’t touch the smelly vermin.

I had to look at that opening entrance and Biden looked like an idiot with his fist bumps.

Even more so as he then puts his hands on their shoulders, talks a few inches from them, etc.

I’m guessing that he will be shaking hands and kissing the Arabs.

He should do that 1930s-1940s comedy routine of pretending to offer his hand and then pulling it back and showing his thumb up for “hit the road.”

Transparent gimmick, couldn’t remember to carry it out. Now he’ll just have to fist bump MbS and look like a fool.

Yes, but will he bow down to the Saudi king the way Obama did?
