Later when asked whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s lack of diplomatic engagement was an attempt to influence the upcoming U.S. elections, Biden replied, “Whether he is trying to influence the election, I don’t know, but I am not counting on that. No administration has done more to help Israel than I have.”
