Biden and Netanyahu Set for Talks as Iran Tensions Escalate

U.S. President Joe Biden is set to hold a significant phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, amid rising tensions following a missile attack from Iran. This conversation will be their first direct communication since August and comes at a critical time as conflicts escalate in the Middle East.

The backdrop to this anticipated discussion is a missile strike executed by Iran last week, which Iranian officials described as retaliation for Israel's military actions in Lebanon. Although the strike did not cause any casualties in Israel and was characterized by U.S. officials as ineffective, it has raised alarms about the potential for further escalation in the region.

In the wake of the Iranian missile attack, Netanyahu has declared that Iran will face repercussions, asserting, “they will pay for this missile attack.” Iran has issued a stark warning that any retaliatory measures from Israel would lead to significant destruction, adding to concerns of a larger conflict that might draw in the United States.

The upcoming call between Biden and Netanyahu will primarily focus on Israel’s planned response to the Iranian aggression. Washington is keen to influence the nature of Israel’s retaliation, with sources indicating that the White House intends to guide discussions on whether military action would be appropriate.

Beyond the situation with Iran, Biden and Netanyahu are expected to delve into ongoing tensions with Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Biden administration has consistently expressed support for Israel's operations against these Iran-backed militant groups. However, it also faces increasing pressure to advocate for ceasefire negotiations amid escalating civilian casualties in the ongoing conflicts.

Since Hamas launched a significant attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, which resulted in approximately 1,200 Israeli deaths and the capture of around 250 hostages, the regional situation has deteriorated sharply. Israeli military operations in response have reportedly led to nearly 42,000 Palestinian deaths, according to local health officials, alongside rising casualties in Lebanon.

The relationship between Biden and Netanyahu has been tested in recent months due to their differing views on military strategies. This context sets the stage for a potentially tense dialogue. Additionally, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has postponed a planned visit to the Pentagon, signaling Netanyahu’s prioritization of his discussions with Biden.
