Netizens, however, were not content with the President's announcement, with one social media user writing, "Your history is a European settler-colonial project that committed genocide and ethnic cleansing on an indigenous population in the name of white supremacy and land theft, so supporting Israel is basically just a repeat, there’s nothing ‘new’ there."

"You will be history soon Joe!" One individual wrote.
