Over a week after being inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States, Joe Biden has yet to call Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by Thursday morning.
The 78-year-old Democrat had already spoken to Canadian President Justin Trudeau, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, German Chancellor Angela Merkle, French President Emmanuel Macron and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
