Israeli President Assures Biden of Crisis Resolution

Israeli President Isaac Herzog spoke with US President Joe Biden on July 18, 2023, and promised to find a way out of the current crisis between Israel and the Palestinians.

The crisis was triggered by a series of deadly shootings in Israel, which led to a wave of Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip. The Palestinians responded with rocket attacks on Israel, and the situation has been on a knife’s edge ever since.

In their phone call, Herzog and Biden discussed the need to de-escalate the situation and find a way to bring peace to the region. Herzog promised Biden that he would work with the Palestinian Authority to find a solution, and Biden pledged his support for Israel’s security.

It remains to be seen whether Herzog will be able to find a way out of the crisis, but his promise to Biden is a sign that he is committed to finding a peaceful solution.

Here are some additional details from the phone call:

Herzog told Biden that he is “committed to finding a way to end the violence and bring about a lasting peace.”
Biden said that he is “deeply concerned” about the situation in Israel and the Palestinian territories, and he pledged his support for Israel’s security.

The two leaders agreed to continue working together to find a solution to the crisis.The phone call between Herzog and Biden was a positive step, but it remains to be seen whether it will be enough to de-escalate the situation. The two leaders will need to work together closely in the coming days and weeks to find a way to bring peace to the region.
