Mr Netanyahu’s office also confirmed that the prime minister had recently spoken with former president Donald Trump, who is running again for the White House. Mr Trump called Mr Netanyahu last week and “congratulated him on the intense and determined operations that Israel carried out against Hezbollah”, according to Mr Netanyahu’s office.
Israel has been discussing how to respond to the latest barrage of missiles from Iran, which the United States helped to fend off.
Mr Biden last week said he would not support a retaliatory Israeli strike on sites related to Tehran’s nuclear programme. Israel’s other choices range from a largely symbolic strike – similar to how Israel responded after Iran launched missiles and attack drones in April – to hitting oil facilities and other infrastructure.
Since the leaders’ last call, Israel has carried out a sabotage and assassination campaign against Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon, where the militant group has continued to fire missiles, rockets and drones at Israel.
