Israeli PM wrongly refers to Boris Johnson as Boris Yeltsin

Benjamin Netanyahu's office clumsily tries to edit out mix-up over former Russian leader's name

The office of Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has released a video that clumsily tries to edit out a gaffe where he calls the British prime minister by the wrong name.

Netanyahu misspoke at Sunday's weekly cabinet meeting, referring to his UK counterpart Boris Johnson as Boris Yeltsin, the former Russian president who died in 2007.
