Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio last night, according to reports. The call, which took place late Saturday evening, was not announced in advance, and no details of the conversation were disclosed. The conversation is the latest in a series of high-level contacts between Jerusalem and Washington in recent weeks, as the two countries coordinate on regional security issues, including the situation in Lebanon, the northern front, and the emerging US-Iran framework. The Zioneer has previously reported on multiple calls between Netanyahu and President Trump, as well as earlier conversations with Rubio. The lack of an official readout suggests the call was part of ongoing consultations rather than a breakthrough.
