WASHINGTON (Reuters) – US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Naphtali Bennett met on Friday, with a picture of Biden going viral.
The video, which went viral on social media, showed US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett falling asleep after a long speech at the first meeting.
Kamala Harris: Is he⊠am I?
Staffer: No ma’am, he’s just sleeping and you’re still VP.#BidenMustGo #Biden

However, now that the reality of the video has come to light, the video has been distorted in such a way that it seems that Biden is asleep, but watching the whole video shows that Biden is responding to his counterpart.
The difference between the two posts is that in one post the part has been edited from the middle while in the other video Biden can be seen speaking.
A day after a suicide bombing in Kabul during the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, Biden and Bennett met for the first time to restore US-Israeli relations.
It should be noted that Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett talked about the history of Israeli-American relations and the good friendship between the two countries.
