Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will speak this evening with US President Joe Biden, his office confirms.

The phone call is expected to focus on Israel’s plan for retaliation after an Iranian ballistic missile attack last week.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s office says that Netanyahu suspended his planned trip to Washington until after the call with Biden. Netanyahu claims the trip had never been approved.
