Asked by reporters whether he’ll speak with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about a potential hostage release and ceasefire deal in Gaza before he leaves office, US President Joe Biden responds, “I spoke with him and we’ll speak again.”
It’s unclear whether Biden is referring to a recent call with Netanyahu that has not yet been publicized.
The last call between the two leaders read out by the White House was on November 26, the day the US announced a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
