President Biden's response to a question about a potential hostage deal was to query about the risk of being hit by a camera, creating an awkward moment.
Biden emphasized his longstanding friendship with Israeli President Herzog, referring to his commitment to Israel as 'ironclad', but sidestepped the direct inquiry about hostages.
Back in September, President Biden suggested that Prime Minister Netanyahu was not sufficiently proactive in pursuing a hostage deal, indicating frustration with the current negotiation efforts.
The exchange during the Oval Office meeting highlights a tension between Biden's diplomatic relationships and the pressing humanitarian issues present in the region.
