Biden, Netanyahu Talk for First Time in Nearly 50 Days

(JNS) U.S. President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on Wednesday, Oct. 9—their first phone call since Aug. 21, according to White House readouts of their communications.

Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, joined the two leaders on the call, during which they reportedly discussed Israel’s plans to respond to Iran’s Oct. 1 missile barrage against the Jewish state, ahead of an Israeli cabinet vote on the issue.

The call, according to Israeli media, lasted about 50 minutes.

Biden has previously said that he would oppose an Israeli strike on Iran’s oil infrastructure, suggesting that such an attack would not be proportional, given that the some 180 ballistic missiles that the Islamic Republic fired at Israel did result in any Israeli deaths or cause serious damage to infrastructure.
