The White House denied on Friday that US President Joe Biden had intentionally ignored Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for not being included in a list of phone calls Biden made to foreign leaders since taking office on the 20th. from January.
The absence of direct contact between the Democratic president of the United States and the right-wing Israeli prime minister has sparked speculation in Israel and among Middle East experts that the new administration of the United States could indicate its dissatisfaction with the close ties that they linked Netanyahu with Biden’s predecessor, former President Donald Trump.
“He (Biden) hopes to speak with Prime Minister Netanyahu … I can assure you that this will happen soon, but I don’t have a specific date or time,” White House spokeswoman Gene Saki told reporters in a briefing. . .
When asked if the delay in the call was intended to ignore Netanyahu, he replied: “It is not a deliberate disregard. Prime Minister Netanyahu is someone the President (Biden) has known for a while,” adding that Biden “is waiting for the conversation.”
Trump and his predecessor, Barack Obama, whose Biden administration served as vice president, had called Netanyahu within days of his presidency.
