Biden held 'direct,' 30-minute call with Netanyahu

According to "CNN", President Joe Biden held a “direct,” 30-minute phone call with his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, their first conversation in almost two months and a chance to confer over Israel’s planned response to an Iranian ballistic missile attack.

“They discussed a range of issues,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said after the call ended, characterizing the conversation as an extension of discussions between US and Israeli officials about Israel’s response to the Iranian attack, which Biden has said should be “proportional.”

Yet neither she nor a short White House description of the call, sent a few hours afterward, provided any further details about Israel’s planned retaliation for last week’s missile barrage.

A White House readout described Biden condemning “unequivocally” the Iranian missile attack, without expanding any further on the two leaders’ discussion of Israel’s response, which was the reason for the call and which Biden has said should not include an attack on Iranian nuclear sites.

The White House said the two leaders exchanged views on Lebanon, with Biden stressing the need for a “diplomatic arrangement” that would allow Israeli and Lebanese citizens displaced by violence along the border to return to their homes.

The leaders, the White House said, agreed “to remain in close contact over the coming days both directly and through their national security teams.”
