President Joe Biden sensationally called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “a son of a bitch” at least three times and called him the main obstacle to peace in the Middle East, a shocking new report has found.

The comments come as Israeli airstrikes killed 67 Palestinians and injured dozens of others in Rafah, Gaza officials said. The southern Gaza city is filled with about a million displaced civilians.

A source close to the president said this NBC News that Biden feels like Netanyahu is “giving him hell” over the ceasefire negotiations.

'He just feels like this is enough. It has to stop,” another source told the channel. The aging Democrat regularly calls Netanyahu “this guy” and recently called him a “son of a bitch” three times.

On Friday, the White House sought to downplay sharp criticism of Israel by President Joe Biden and a top national security official over the way Netanyahu negotiated his country's response to Hamas' brutal Oct. 7 attack.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday evening, Biden called Israel's military operations in Gaza “overblown” and said the suffering of innocent people “must stop.”

While Biden has previously expressed concern about the rising Palestinian civilian toll — more than 27,000 have been killed in Gaza since the conflict broke out — his direct criticism of the Israelis has been muted.

Then the New York Times reported Friday that it had obtained a recording in which the president's deputy chief national security adviser, Jon Finer, expressed a “lack of confidence” in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing government.

These comments come from a meeting with Arab American and Muslim community leaders this week. The White House National Security Council confirmed that Finer's comments, as reported by the Times, were accurate.

A government official told The Associated Press that Finer spoke specifically about the Netanyahu government's commitment to pursuing a two-state solution — one in which Israel would coexist with an independent Palestinian state — once the war is over.

Netanyahu has consistently opposed the creation of a Palestinian state throughout his political career.

More than four months after October 7, much of the densely populated strip of land on the Mediterranean Sea lies in ruins, with 28,340 Palestinian dead and 67,984 injured, according to health officials in Gaza, who say many others are buried under the rubble.

The Israeli military says 31 hostages have been killed since then, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday's rescue showed the need to continue military pressure, brushing aside international alarm over plans for a ground attack on Rafah.

Biden's angry rhetoric toward Bibi has been somewhat of a pattern in recent months.

Last week, the White House was forced to deny a report that President Joe Biden called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “bad guy.”

Martin revealed that unnamed sources told him that Biden is “very suspicious” of Netanyahu and used the expletive behind the Israeli leader's back.

But the White House strongly pushed back and denied the report.

'This is wrong. President Biden has not said that, nor would he,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates told DailyMail.com last week.

“The president has been clear where he disagrees with Prime Minister Netanyahu, but this is a decades-long relationship that is respectful both publicly and privately.”

According to Politico's Jonathan Martin, a House of Representatives Democrat told him that it was “unanimous that this war between Israel and Gaza should end now and that Biden should stand up to Bibi,” adding that the conflict in Gaza ” is politically a disaster'.

“Bibi is toxic among many Democratic voters and Biden must distance himself from him yesterday,” the lawmaker reportedly told Martin.

These revelations come shortly after it was reported that Biden had not spoken to Netanyahu in a month as the president's patience was reportedly worn thin by the non-stop bombing of Gaza.

When they spoke on December 23, Netanyahu reportedly rejected Biden's request for Israel to release Palestinian tax revenues, and an angry Biden ended the phone call saying that “this conversation is over.”

Senator Chris Van Hollen told Axios: “At every point, Netanyahu has given Biden the finger. They argue for the Netanyahu coalition, but get a slap in the face again and again.”
