Netanyahu Mocks Biden “Falling Asleep” At Meeting

Mediaite reports:

Israeli opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to mock President Joe Biden during a Facebook Live on Sunday, invoking a debunked video that was manipulated to look like Biden fell asleep during a meeting with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.

“The videos on social media, however, have been misleadingly cropped: seconds later, longer footage shows that Biden responds to Bennett,” a fact-check by Reuters noted. However, Netanyahu apparently was not alerted that the video was misleading.
