In a surprising moment at the White House Tuesday, President Joe Biden left reporters scratching their heads with an unexpected joke.

During a meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog, Biden addressed questions on high-stakes issues including the escalating conflict in Lebanon, humanitarian challenges in Gaza, and the American hostages held by Hamas.

When asked by Neria Kraus, a reporter, whether he anticipated reaching a deal to secure the hostages’ release by the end of his term, Biden deflected the question with a remark about the room’s bustling media presence.

“Do you think you can get hit in the head by the camera behind you?” Biden responded, directing attention to the cameramen surrounding them.
