President-elect Joe Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Tuesday, making him the latest world leader to acknowledge, after a slight delay, Biden's win in the 2020 presidential race.
President Donald Trump, who's been politically aligned with Netanyahu during his four years in office, continues to refuse to concede to the Democratic ex-vice president.
Netanyahu's office confirmed the call, according to Reuters, saying the two leaders had a 'warm conversation.'
'The two agreed to meet soon to discuss the many issues that are pending and reaffirmed the need to continue to strengthen the strong alliance between the United States and Israel,' the statement said.
Biden also spoke with Israel's President Reuven Rivlin, the Biden-Harris transition team said.
'The president-elect thanked the prime minister for his congratulations and reiterated his steadfast support for Israel’s security and its future as a Jewish and democratic state,' a readout from Biden's team said later Tuesday.
Biden also said he was determined that the U.S.-Israel relationship 'enjoys strong bi-partisan support.'
The chat comes one day after Netanyahu, in a slip, called Biden the president.
'I have been told that in the near future I will talk with the president ...,' the prime minister said during a Hebrew press conference, according to the Times of Israel. 'Errr, with Joe Biden, who is supposed to be appointed the next president.'

This was days ago, wasn’t it? Thought I read it had been done already.
I read about this call about a week ago. Yet here it is. Boom time again.
Netanyahu is stupidly biting the hand that feeds him!!!!
REPENT!!!!
Nope it was Monday or Tuesday this week. The earlier story was about a tweet it text message that Bibi sent. This week it was a phone call
Well after today’s presser, whoever waited was a smart cookie.
Do I need to support Netanyahu's congratulatory remarks in order to support Israel? Or do I need to condemn them in order to support Trump?
Decisions, decisions.
I read about this call about a week ago. Yet here it is.
The article says he sent a tweet a week or so ago. This week he did a telephone call.
Why aren’t world leaders calling me with congratulations? I’m just as much president-elect as Biden.
Bet BiteMe’s handlers called Bibi...
Just to set up this headline.
Well I’ve lost any respect I ever had for Netanyahu.
Notice that the article doesn’t report who called whom...
Didn’t that happen over a week ago? I think President Trump un-followed him on Twitter in response.
I wonder what they think after the press conference
Keep yer powder dry. :-)
There’s a very good chance we’re being sold a bill of goods.
Again.
Why would he do that - because Biden’s chosen staff members are anti-Semitic?
Recall the call.
Rudy’s last sentence during the press conference: America is headed for dark times.
This implies that Trump is not conceding EVER! The president will not allow the communist to take power. There is going to be violence and death (not from COVID).
Sidney Powell said we are living the equivalent to 1775.
Do we choose Communism or Freedom?
Ok....IF this is true....I have lost any respect I ever had for Netanyahu.
Well after today’s presser, whoever waited was a smart cookie.
I’m sorry, but today’s press conference changed nothing. They still can’t say whether the FBI will prosecute or is even investigating anyone or anything. Have any of their witnesses been interviewed by FBI? I have to infer the answer is no, since Rudy said he didn’t know where the FBI was
Without indictments for big time felonies, legislatures and the courts will not disturb the status quo. I don’t like that - but it’s a fact
And the truth is, these are allegations of crimes - and you cant expect average people to pay attention or take them seriously if the criminal-justice authorities aren’t bringing criminal charges.
