The calls came amid growing fears that the Israel-Hamas war could mushroom into a wider Middle East conflict as Israel pounded Gaza and clashes on its border with Lebanon intensified.
They also agreed to continue close diplomatic coordination, including with key partners in the region, to “prevent the conflict from spreading, preserve stability in the Middle East, and work toward a political solution and durable peace”.Biden and Netanyahu discussed the arrival of the first aid convoys to Gaza and “affirmed that there will now be continued flow of this critical assistance,” the White House said.
