This will be the first call between Joe Biden and Netanyahu since February 15. It is taking place against the backdrop of heightened tensions between the leaders and a speech by Senate Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Netanyahu said in a meeting with senior officials of the pro-Israeli lobby IPAK: "The picture that has been shown in the last few days and weeks in the United States is completely different from the one I described" "There is unity in the people and an agreement that we need to achieve victory as I described it," he said.
