Lazimi’s fellow Labor MK Gilad Kariv writes on X that Biden is “one of the greatest friends and supporters of the State of Israel and the Jewish people.
“Decent Israelis will remember him as someone who was a man of true responsibility and sanity when the people who were supposed to lead us failed and abandoned us,” he adds.
