He added that the two leaders “noted the long-standing personal connection between them and said they would work together to further strengthen the strong alliance between Israel and the United States.” Continue talking between them. “The president also congratulated the prime minister on his leadership in the fight against Corona and the two exchanged views on how to deal with the plague.”

As you may recall, Joe Biden took office as president on January 20, and has since spoken with many world leaders but not with Netanyahu, which has raised eyebrows among many in the political and media system. However, when asked about this, Netanyahu replied that this fact does not obscure him. Today, in an interview with Gali Tzahal, he said that “we have friendly ties. Joe Biden has known me for nearly 40 years. I came to the Axis in Washington as a young Israeli, he was a young American and we had a friendly relationship over the years. “

Just yesterday, White House spokeswoman Jen Saki said yesterday that the conversation between the US president and the prime minister will take place soon. She mentioned the matter in a special statement to the media at the president’s residence. Saki also said in this regard that Netanyahu is expected to be the first leader in the Middle East with whom Biden will speak.
