U.S. President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on Wednesday amidst rising tensions with Iran.
Following the call, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant vowed that any Israeli retaliation against Iran would be “lethal, precise, and surprising.” This 30-minute conversation marked the first discussion between Biden and Netanyahu since August, occurring during heightened conflict between Israel and Iran, as well as the Iran-backed group Hezbollah. There has been no indication of a ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza, despite ongoing violence.
The conversation comes after a missile attack by Iran on October 1, which was in response to Israel’s military activity in Lebanon, though the attack did not result in any Israeli casualties. While the U.S. supports Israel targeting Iran-backed groups like Hezbollah and Hamas, it has unsuccessfully attempted to mediate a ceasefire in Gaza and limit Israel’s attacks on populated areas, which have caused significant casualties.
According to source, Biden has been critical of Netanyahu, accusing him of lacking strategy during the conflicts, with heated exchanges reported between the two leaders. However, Wednesday’s call was seen as positive by Israeli officials, with Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon expressing gratitude for U.S. support.
