<p>President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> faced blowback on Tuesday for his response to a journalist asking about an Israeli hostage deal with Hamas more than a year after the group&#8217;s October 7 terrorist attacks.</p>
<p>The bizarre exchange took place in the White House as Biden, 81, met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog.</p>
<p>&#8220;President Biden, do you think we can get a hostage deal by the end of your term?&#8221; asked Neria Kraus, a reporter for Israel&#8217;s Channel 13.</p>
<p>Biden&#8217;s reply was somewhat muddled. According to Kraus, he said: &#8220;Do you think that you can get hit in the head by the camera behind you?&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">I asked President Biden if he thinks that he can get a hostage deal done by the end of his term. He answered, commenting on the number of cameramen in the room: “do you think that you can get hit in the head by the camera behind you?” <a href="https://t.co/B3DCJoHdaw">pic.twitter.com/B3DCJoHdaw</a></p>

<p>The White House, which has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-harris-admin-altered-transcript-of-bidens-garbage-insult-could-have-broken-law" target="_blank" rel="noopener">faced controversy</a> for altering a transcript of Biden&#8217;s infamous &#8220;garbage&#8221; insult against supporters of President-elect Donald Trump, offered a slightly different version.</p>

<p>&#8220;Do you think you can keep from getting hit in the head by a — a camera behind you?&#8221; Biden said in reply, according to the White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/11/12/remarks-by-president-biden-and-president-isaac-herzog-of-the-state-of-israel-before-a-meeting/">transcript</a>.</p>

<p>After the exchange, Biden began delivering remarks, declaring that his commitment to Israel is &#8220;ironclad&#8221; and introducing Herzog.</p>
<p>Kraus <a href="https://x.com/NeriaKraus/status/1856387921953128480" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a> video of their exchange on X, noting Biden was commenting on &#8220;the number of cameramen in the room.&#8221;</p>
<p>The clip quickly went viral, with many users — including journalists — describing Biden&#8217;s remark as odd, rude, or just plain combative.</p>
<p>&#8220;Huh? weird,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/JakeSherman/status/1856404022175117762" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> PunchBowl News co-founder Jake Sherman.</p>
<p>&#8220;Biden unburdened by what has been,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/TocRadio/status/1856409546585190778" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quipped</a> The Washington Examiner&#8217;s Christian Datoc.</p>
<p>&#8220;What a complete a**,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/LawrenceBJones3/status/1856399930463559738" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Fox News host Lawrence Jones.</p>
<p>&#8220;Seems aggressive,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/ZitoSalena/status/1856405836383350903" target="_blank" rel="noopener">observed</a> journalist Salina Zito.</p>
<p>&#8220;This man has jello for brains and was still a better candidate than Kamala,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/RubinReport/status/1856405805068685524" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> commentator Dave Rubin.</p>
<p>The exchange happened one week after Biden&#8217;s vice president, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a>, lost to Trump in the 2024 presidential election.</p>
<p>Biden had been running for a second term but dropped out in July after a fumbling debate performance against Trump while facing pressure from allies who raised concerns about his age, mental acuity, and electability.</p>
<p>In his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhmvTbWFJNo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remarks</a> that followed Biden&#8217;s introduction, Herzog noted there were still 101 hostages in Gaza and emphasized that bringing them home is a priority — a stance with which the U.S. president said he agreed.</p>
