Netanyahu Says He Had ‘Friendly’ Call with Biden

By Staff, Agencies

After almost a month in office, US President Joe Biden finally spoke by phone with Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the White House confirmed. Netanyahu described the hour-long conversation as friendly and warm.

Tweeting in Hebrew, the Zionist premier announced on Wednesday that he had spoken with Biden, saying they discussed the “strong alliance between the ‘Israeli’ entity and the United States,” the “Iranian threat,” and challenges in the Middle East, among other things.

Netanyahu also noted the “long-standing personal connection” with the current US president, who spent decades in the Senate and eight years as Barack Obama’s vice-president.

Biden congratulated him on his leadership in the fight against Covid-19 in the occupation entity and the two exchanged views on the ways of fighting against the virus, Netanyahu claimed.

A readout provided by the White House later in the day did not mention the virus, but said Biden had "affirmed his personal history of steadfast commitment to ‘Israel’s’ security and conveyed his intent to strengthen all aspects of the US-‘Israel’ partnership."
