Biden and Netanyahu to Discuss Middle East Crisis
Bayan News – Amid the escalating crisis in the Middle East, it has been reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Joe Biden will speak by phone.
Three U.S. officials told Axios that this phone call is scheduled for Wednesday, October 9.
According to the report, the Israeli Prime Minister will inform the U.S. President about his retaliatory attack against the Islamic Republic during the conversation.
Sources told Axios that the U.S. aims to set limits on Israel’s response during this call. According to one U.S. official, Washington wants to ensure that Israel’s attack targets important and effective objectives while avoiding excessive intensity and scope.
Tensions in the Middle East have risen, with many awaiting Israel’s response to the Iranian missile strike last week.
Netanyahu has stated that Iran will pay for the missile attack, while Tehran has warned that any Israeli retaliation will be met with a large and devastating response from Iran.
