President Joe Biden deflected questions about his comments earlier Monday on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, telling CNN they were “in the middle of negotiations” on a possible hostage deal.
CNN’s Arlette Saenz asked the president what more he wanted Netanyahu to do, hours after telling reporters the prime minister wasn’t doing enough.
Asked about Netanyahu’s comments about him, Biden responded: “We’re still in negations – not with him, but my colleagues from Qatar and Egypt.”
