Joe Biden made the worrying gaffe during a one-on-one interview, where he bizarrely confused the Israeli port of Haifa with the last refuge for civilians in the Gaza Strip, Rafah
Fresh concerns are growing over Joe Biden's mental state after he made a "seriously embarrassing" blunder during an interview over the Gaza war.
“I’ve been meeting with them, number one,” President Biden said. “Number two, I made it clear that we have to vastly increase the amount of food, water and healthcare going into Gaza.”“And I made it clear to Israelis – don’t move on Haifa,” he added, apparently meaning to say Rafah." “It’s just not, I mean, anyway,” Biden added.
Biden's confused comments were largely mocked on social media. “I think Israel should accommodate Biden’s demand not to attack Haifa,” former US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman wrote on Twitter. Biden, who would be 86 at the end of a potential second term if re-elected in November, has made a series of errors but the White House has tried to play them down. They previously hit back at suggestions his memory was a concern in February following his handling of classified documents.
