President Biden told a Democratic lawmaker and members of his Cabinet after the State of the Union address that he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that they will need to have a “come-to-Jesus meeting.”

Biden’s comments, captured on a hot mic as he spoke with Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) on the floor of the House chamber, came after Bennet congratulated the commander in chief on his speech and pressed him to keep pressure on Netanyahu over increasing humanitarian issues in Gaza.

Just overall a very funny comment in regards to Israel.
An aide to Biden then appeared to inform the president that his microphone was still on.

“I’m on a hot mic here,” Biden replied. “Good. That’s good.”
The irony is funny, but that is a common idiom in english speaking countries. Biden isn't literally going to speak to Netanyahu about converting to Christianity as if he's some sort of political missionary.
For the 12th time in the last two months

X doubt.
"hot mic"
If he's still selling them weapons for genocide and still running interference for them at the UN, he is still supporting genocide.

Biden needs to stop supporting genocide. Biden needs to have a come to Jesus moment.
I award him no credit for this. Same as we find out Republicans who privately despite Trump but publicly defend him.
On purpose accident?
That’s actually hilarious.
Other than sanctions and cutting off trade, what kind of pressure can the world put on Netanyahu to stop the madness in Gaza?
Ah yes, like how you said we were supposed to have the ceasefire on Monday after you knew the uncommitted vote was coming.

Fuck you.
Yeah good luck with that, I'm not certain Bibi is all that interested in what Jesus would have to say on the matter.
Supply Side Jesus.

Biden is going to extol the virtues of exploitation over eradication
oh, whoops, i dropped my monster statement that i use for my come-to-jesus dong
He does a lot of talking. He also structures arms deals so that they don't meet the minimum requirement for oversight from Congress in order to supply arms to a country engaged in an obvious genocide. I guess he's a pretty good multitasker!
