President Joe Biden spoke Wednesday with his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu, ending what had been a lengthy stretch without a call after Biden took office, CNN reported.
The period without communication had raised questions about what was behind the delay, though the White House insisted the two men had a strong relationship and that Biden was simply calling leaders in other regions before arriving at the Middle East.
In a post on Twitter, Netanyahu said he had spoken with Biden for roughly an hour in “friendly and warm” terms, affirming the US-Israel alliance and discussing issues related to Iran, regional diplomacy and the coronavirus pandemic.

What a joke! America is not safe without Israel, it’s as simple as that. Trump understood this!
Will Biden support terrorism the way Obama did by giving billions of dollars to Iran for them to build up terror groups to attack Jews all around the world?
