Former U.S. President Joe Biden has stated that he had limited trust in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He defended the decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan in 2021. His reflections on his time in the White House are summarized in the new book titled “Promise Me, America”.
According to The Wall Street Journal, which reported on them in an article published this Sunday, November 15, 2026, the book addresses several of the key decisions and challenges of his presidency, including relations with Netanyahu, for whom he admits he had a limited level of trust during his term.
This statement comes at a time when the former president is making his memoirs public, giving readers an inside view of the dynamics with key allies during his presidential years. Joe Biden’s new book thus offers a window into his relations with allies and his most controversial decisions.
