US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have just wrapped up a phone call during which they discussed the ongoing hostage talks, a source familiar with the matter tells The Times of Israel.

Neither side has issued a readout yet, but such statements do not typically reveal substantive information regarding what was actually discussed on the call anyway.
