"I mean, 24 hours ago it was confirmed to me by top administration officials that the policy’s very different than what he stated there," he continued. "So I hope that’s a senior moment."
The House Speaker said he was already troubled by reports that U.S. support to Israel could be delayed before Biden's interview. He told Politico that Biden administration officials dismissed his concerns and said delays were occurring with prior tranches of weapons, not aid recently passed by the House.
Johnson speculated that Biden's comments may have been a "senior moment" and at odds with the rest of the administration's plans.

"I made it clear that if they go into Rafah — they haven’t gone in Rafah yet — if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities — that deal with that problem," Biden said.
