President Biden was furious after the elimination of a Hezbollah leader who had a $5 million bounty on his head from the US for his role in killing hundreds of American servicemen.
Conversations from the past year between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden were revealed today (Tuesday) in a new book by journalist Bob Woodward, 'War,' an advanced copy of which was obtained by CNN.
According to Woodward, after the elimination of Hezbollah's second-highest ranking figure Fuad Shukr, Biden was furious with Netanyahu and told him: "Bibi, what the f-?" Biden added, “You know the perception of Israel around the world increasingly is that you’re a rogue state, a rogue actor.”
In response, Netanyahu said that "the target was one of the leading terrorists. We saw an opportunity and took advantage of it. The harder you hit, the more successful you will be in the negotiations."
Another conversation that was revealed is from last April, around the discussion of the IDF's entry into Rafah, Biden asked Netanyahu: "What is your strategy, man?" Netanyahu replied: "We need to enter Rafah." Biden replied: "Bibi, you’ve got no strategy."

Biden continues to embarrass.
Weakness is never a strategy.
And, once you eliminate a terrorist leader, you can have a ceasefire, at least with him.
Who are Woodward’s sources? I cannot imagine PM Netanyahu putting up with questioning from a blithering idiot over strategy and actions.
Bibi should ask for the bounty, in cash
His response tells us all we need to know.
Woodward is highly unreliable. Even if he makes Biden look like a fool. Are their any other believable options?
HOW many “SPECIAL” pagers would that buy???????
If we had a price on the guy’s head, and Netanyahu took him out for us, why would Biden be angry with Netanyahu? This has the aroma of another Woodward fabrication.
Bibi is a leader an Biden is an ass, pure an simple!
Lex
Biden wouldn’t know Shukr. Blinken and Sullivan probably told Joe that Shukr was a revered, austere religious scholar.
Biden doesn’t want to PAY the bounty.
Did Bibi get the 5 million dollar reward we put on the Hezbollah terrorist’s head? Is Biden saying the reward is for political optics? He really didn’t mean that he be killed merely for having killed hundreds of American servicemen
These morons keep giving the guy access to the WH, thinking he’s their buddy. It never works out well for them but we get some interesting yarns.
“Nobody Fuadshukr’s with a Biden!”
What a piece of demonic work that bozo is.
Don’t know about Woodward’s sources, but whatever, they do have our peerless leader’s vocab right. “Bibi, what the f-?” , “What is your strategy, man?”
Exactly. I seriously doubt that ByeDone was able to articulate even to the above.
“I cannot imagine PM Netanyahu putting up with questioning from a blithering idiot over strategy and actions.”
Bibi was undoubtedly seething inside, but his goal is to help his country, so he knows he has to suck it up and be polite and friendly to the dithering, evil, idiot who occupies the White House.
Military expert ByeDone schooling Bibi??
Bibi graduated from high school in 1967 to join the Israel Defense Forces. He trained as a combat soldier and spent five years in the IDF’s Sayeret Matkal (General Staff Reconnaissance Unit, or Unit 269) elite special forces organization.
During the 1967–70 War of Attrition, he took part in multiple cross-border assault raids, rising to become a squad leader in the unit. Several times in warfare, he was wounded.

Exactly.
Now... multiply some variant of Bibi’s tested and true resume by — what? — several hundred thousand?, and you have the IDF.
Put a sock in it, Joe. Go back to sleep in your beach chair.
