US President Joe Biden has indicated that he will likely engage in a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the near future, in response to Iran's recent missile attack on Israel. Biden made this statement while addressing reporters at Joint Base Answers, highlighting the escalating tensions in the region.
The last known communication between Biden and Netanyahu took place on August 21, as per White House records. Since then, the situation in the Middle East has become increasingly volatile, particularly as Israel intensifies its efforts to weaken Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Biden mentioned that the United States has been providing guidance directly to Israeli authorities regarding potential responses to the attack. He emphasized the ongoing dialogue with Israeli officials to assess the situation and determine the appropriate course of action.
Regarding the upcoming conversation with Netanyahu, Biden stated, 'We'll be discussing with the Israelis what they're going to do.' He also mentioned that continuous communication has been maintained with Netanyahu's team throughout this period.
Over the past year, Biden's discussions with Netanyahu have occasionally become strained, reflecting differing perspectives on Israel's operations in Gaza. Despite these differences, both leaders have continued to engage in dialogue to address critical issues affecting the region.
