A recent phone call between US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also included Vice President Kamala Harris.
According to Haaretz, the conversation with Harris focused on the issue of control over the Philadelphia Corridor. Harris, along with Biden, insisted that Israel must be flexible on the issue.
In addition, the newspaper’s sources reported that some representatives of the White House expressed their dissatisfaction with the statements of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Blinken argued that Netanyahu fully supported the American version of the agreement and that now the only obstacle to its implementation is the position of Hamas. One of the newspaper’s interlocutors noted that such a statement gave Netanyahu the opportunity to take a tougher position, which could make it more difficult to reach an agreement.

The statement said that the leaders discussed the measures that the United States is taking to protect Israel from threats posed by Iran and its allies such as Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis.
