Binyamin Netanyahu, Joe Biden
Netanyahu and Biden to address Iran strike after months of silence
The two leaders will hold their first conversation in months, with Biden urging Netanyahu to scale back Israel’s military response.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will speak with US President Joe Biden on Wednesday, with the two reportedly expected to discuss the Israeli attack on Iran.
According to Walla, the US president will try to moderate the Israeli response to Iran's missile attack last week. This conversation will take place after two months in which the two leaders did not speak as there was tension between them following disagreements over the conduct of the war.
According to the report, Israel is planning an unprecedented military attack on Iran in response to the ballistic missile launch at Israel last Tuesday. The United States fears that such a response will lead to a regional war and is trying to moderate the Israeli response in every way.
It should be noted that this conversation will take place after Netanyahu reportedly postponed Defense Minister Yoav Galant's trip to the United States. Gallant was supposed to meet with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to coordinate operations in Iran, but Netanyahu told him that he could not fly until Biden spoke with him amid tensions between the two.
