US President Joe Biden called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, for what an unnamed senior administration official described as a "candid and constructive" conversation.
The phone call lasted 30 minutes. Netanyahu’s office said the conversation focused on “the Iran threat and expansion of the peace circle” with the Arab world. “[President Biden] underscored his belief that democratic values have always been, and must remain, a hallmark of the US-Israel relationship, that democratic societies are strengthened by genuine checks and balances, and that fundamental changes should be pursued with the broadest possible base of popular support,” a detailed statement issued by the White House read.
