White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki addressed questions at today’s press conference, regarding the fact that President Joe Biden has yet to call Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, which has raised some eyebrows in Israel and America.
“His first call with a leader in the region will be with Prime Minister Netanyahu,” Psaki says.
“It will be place soon, I don’t have an exact date for you, but it will be soon. Stay tuned,” she says.
“Israel is of course an ally. Israel is a country where we have an important strategic security relationship. Our team is fully engaged, not at the head of state level quite yet, but very soon. But our team is fully engaged, having constant conversations at many levels with the Israelis.”

Okay, when will he call ‘the region’ of which Israel will be first?
Who cares?
It’s embarrassing for Israel to lower itself to the level of dog with its tongue hanging out waiting for a caress from his master.
Shame on the Israeli media.
Biden has already said that he regards EY as a top ally. There have been meetings and calls at the highest levels including Sec. of State Blinken.
However, if you were Biden WHY would you be in any rush to call Bibi who for the last two months of the U.S. political campaign did all he could to promote Trump short of showing up at a MAGA rally in a red baseball hat. In WH meetings and phonecalls, he acted like one of the Trump sycophants w/o actually saying “vote for Trump”. Now Bibi is sulking. Too bad. The U.S. relationship with EY will remain strong…not sure about the personal links with Biden who Bibi has historically gone out of his way to undercut (including on his visit to EY) .
GH – YOU are the sycophant. Oh, Biden has said he regards EY as a top ally of Israel so let’s all believe him. Jews in Israel of all political persuasions and religious groups were grateful to have Trump in White House due to his policies that promoted Israelis’ security over terrorists’. Neither Biden nor his leftist puppeteers are friends of Israel. As Biden reinstates funding the PA’s pay-for-slay of JEWS and re-enters the deadly deal and removes sanctions from “Death to Israel” Iran, you have the gall to tout him as an ally of Israel. You don’t seem much of an ally to Israel, either. Just a self-hating Jewish democrat.
