The White House issued on Wednesday a statement saying that US President Joe Biden held a phone call with Israeli prime Minister Yair Lapid to consult on global and regional security challenges, including those posed by Iran.
The statement added that Biden underscored US commitment to never allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon, expressing appreciation for the warm reception during his July trip to Israel, a visit that illustrated the unbreakable bonds and friendship between the two countries.
Biden also emphasized, according to the statement, the importance of concluding the maritime boundary negotiations between Israel and Lebanon in the coming weeks.
