US president’s account tweeted part of his remarks from last week without context, sparking flurry of differing interpretations
Joe Biden is facing criticism after a social media post sowed confusion over his stance on the Israel-Hamas war, with some viewing it as evidence that he is bowing to domestic pressure for a ceasefire.
