Biden Fist-Bumps Israeli Officials in Tel Aviv

President Biden wasn’t supposed to shake hands with any foreign leader during his first Middle East trip. It’s a precaution aides said was meant to protect him from Covid-19 -- but one that would conveniently help avoid a handshake with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on the second leg of his tour. But in this video, you can see him fist-bumping the Israel premier and several other officials after stepping off Air Force One in Tel Aviv. He later had an extended handshake with Israel’s former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
