Israel's ambassador to the United Nations and the United States, Gilad Erdan, referred in an interview on Reshet Bet to the telephone conversation between President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"Biden has a special personal connection with the prime minister. The conversation is irrelevant, he has urgent matters and Netanyahu is the first he spoke to in the Middle East," Erdan said, adding: "We need to place emphasis on strengthening ties with the Democratic Party."
