---------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Biden spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Wednesday for the first time since taking office four weeks ago.
According to the White House, the leaders discussed Iran, military
cooperation, as well as Biden's support for Israel's recent
normalization of ties with several countries in the Arab and Muslim
world. Meanwhile, the White House has announced it will "recalibrate"
