White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki denied criticism that claimed
the Biden administration intentionally neglected Israel. In a press
briefing Friday, Psaki blamed the administration’s brief time in office
for the lack of communication between Joe Biden and his Israeli
counterpart.
She also would not confirm if Biden plans to reach out to Israel in
the near future. Psaki then attempted to assure reporters the lack of
communication with Israel’s prime minister was not intentional.
“It is not an intentional diss,” Psaki claimed. “Prime Minister
Netanyahu is someone the president has known for some time. Obviously,
we have a long and important relationship with Israel. And the president
has known him and has been working on a range of issues that there’s
mutual commitment to for some time.”
Meanwhile, an Israeli official took to Twitter earlier this week to urge
Biden to contact the “closest ally of the U.S.” He noted Biden called
several other ally nations since his time in office, adding now might be
the time to communicate with Israel’s prime minister.
