The gap between Netanyahu and Biden has reportedly narrowed.
Israel and Washington are closer to a consensus on the scope of Jerusalem’s planned retaliatory strike on Iran, Axios reported on Thursday, citing three U.S. and Israeli officials.
While the current plan is a more aggressive than Washington seeks, the gap between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Joe Biden narrowed during their call on Wednesday, according to a senior Israeli official.
Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, joined the two leaders on the call, during which Biden “affirmed his ironclad commitment to Israel’s security” and “condemned unequivocally Iran’s ballistic missile attack against Israel on Oct. 1,” per a White House readout of the call.
