Biden and Netanyahu, among other things, discussed air defense against ballistic missiles and drones, as well as new defensive deployments of American military, according to the statement.

Biden also emphasized the importance of ongoing efforts to reduce tensions in the region. Vice President Kamala Harris also joined the conversation, according to the White House.
