The US president dodged the question of what the leaders would talk about, saying, “I'll tell you what I'll tell him when I talk to him.
When asked whether a full-scale war in the Middle East could be avoided, Biden replied: “It is necessary. We really have to avoid it.”
The publication also noted that the United States is a longtime ally of Israel, but has repeatedly emphasized its desire to avoid escalating conflicts in the region.
