He added that the U.S. would "insist that Israel facilitate more trucks and more routes to get more and more people the help they need. No excuses. The truth is, aid flowing to Gaza is nowhere nearly enough."
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni spoke briefly, and they didn’t take any questions from reporters in the room.
The mix-up is Biden’s latest gaffe. Last month he appeared to confuse NATO with Ukraine while talking to reporters in Delaware, and he also mixed up the presidents of Mexico and Egypt earlier last month.

The 81-year-old’s mental fitness has been under scrutiny since Special Counsel Robert Hur's report on the president’s mishandling of classified documents last month said he had a "poor memory."
"We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," Hur wrote in the report, explaining that the president would not face any charges.
Former President Trump, the Republican frontrunner, has also had his share of gaffes, most recently in January appearing to confuse opponent Nikki Haley for former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
