Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu referred to US President Joe Biden as a “proud Irish-American Zionist” during a meeting at the White House on July 25.

Video released by the office of the Israeli Prime Minister shows the remarks, made during a press opportunity before the two leaders spoke privately.

“Mr President, we’ve known each other for 40 years, and you’ve known every Israeli Prime Minister for 50 years, from Golda Meir. So from a proud Jewish Zionist, to a proud Irish-American-Zionist — I want to thank you for 50 years of public service and 50 years of support for the State of Israel. I look forward to our conversation today and working with you in the months ahead on the great issues before us.”

Biden replied with, “I look forward to it as well,” and told a story about his first meeting with Meir. Credit: Israeli Prime Minister via Storyful
