Biden: “We are in the middle of negotiations” on a possible hostage deal

US President Joe Biden tried to dodge questions from journalists who questioned his remarks about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday (2).

Earlier, the US leader said: “Netanyahu is not doing enough to secure a hostage deal.” The remarks came after the Israeli military recovered six bodies of people kidnapped by Hamas in the October 7 attacks.

When asked about the statement and what more the Israeli leader could do, the US president said “we are in the middle of negotiations” about a possible hostage deal.

Asked about Netanyahu’s comments about him, Biden replied: “We’re still in denial — not with him, but with my colleagues in Qatar and Egypt.”
