The Jerusalem Post Podcast with Tamar Uriel-Beeri and Zvika Klein.

US President Joe Biden "is a Zionist to his core, he feels it in his kishkes as much as I do," US Democratic Congressman Ritchie Torres said Thursday on The Jerusalem Post Podcast with Zvika Klein and Tamar Uriel-Beeri.

Torres, in his first visit to Israel after the October 7 massacre, was asked by Klein about what it's like to be in the Democratic Party during the war. His answer was that despite all the clashes with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Biden is still acking the Jewish state.

The congressman then further affirmed the strong ties between the US and Israel.

Torres further commented about the betrayal experienced by the Israeli left from the progressive movement.
