Netanyahu says will speak soon with Biden, does not call him president-elect

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he expects to speak soon with US President-elect Joe Biden, though he appears to avoid calling him that.

“I’ve been told that very soon a call will be arranged with President — with uh, Joe Biden, who is supposed to be appointed the next president,” he says at a press conference.
