The President of the United States, Joe Biden, met with American military personnel in Israel. The commemorative photo featured soldiers from a special unit - their identities were not concealed before the photo was published.
The White House apologized for posting a photo of Delta Force soldiers sent to the Middle East on social media. The photo quickly disappeared from the profile, but the dangerous mistake did not escape public attention.
The White House published a photo on its official Instagram account. In the photo, Joe Biden is shaking hands with members of Delta Force, an elite military unit. The faces of Delta Force members are visible in the image, as well as a distinctive tattoo on the arm of the soldier greeting Biden.
The photo was deleted after an hour, but before that happened, it managed to gather over 6 thousand likes.
As reported by "Hindustan Times", a White House spokeswoman addressed the issue: - We regret this mistake and all the problems it may have caused - she said. The official added that the photo was taken during President Joe Biden's visit to Israel when he met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
