From Fox News: President Biden convened his Cabinet on Friday for the first time in nearly a year – this time with First Lady Jill Biden joining him for the meeting.
It was the first time the Cabinet has met since Oct. 2, 2023. Jill Biden spoke about a White House initiative on women’s health research before the president fielded a question about the escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon.
“We’re continuing to try to do who we’ve tried from the beginning. To make sure that both the people in northern Israel, as well as southern Lebanon, are able to go back to their homes and go back safely,” Biden said. “And the Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, our whole team is working with the intelligence community to try to get that done. We’re going to keep at it till we get it done. But, we’ve got a way to go.”
Biden, when asked about the chances of an Israel-Hamas cease-fire in Gaza, responded “If I ever said ‘it’s not realistic’ we might as well leave.”
The meeting got off to an awkward start. Looking lost, Biden said, “Well good morning…. I guess it’s still morning, idn’t?”
He looked down at his watch in confusion, and then muttered, “Yep.”
After calling for Congress to pass a continuing resolution to fund the government, Biden temporarily turned the meeting over to Jill Biden, who was seated at the end of the table, to discuss changing the approach on how women’s health services are funded.
