I saw this a couple of days ago and made a mental note to see if there’s a bigger story here…Well, the other shoe dropped: Netanyahu stopped Gallant’s planned trip to DC tonight until after he gets his call from Biden and after the cabinet decides what to do with Iran. According to @bardugojacob, who broke the story, Netanyahu is concerned about pressure from the Biden admin to scale back Israel’s attack on Iran.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke by telephone with French President Macron today. Netanyahu and President Biden haven’t spoken since August 21, which is an absurd and unacceptable amount of time for the leaders to go without direct communication, especially when the region is more destabilized than it has been in decades.
