The call is the latest sign of tensions between Washington and Tel Aviv as the war against Hamas continues.
A U.S. official told Axios the call was one of the most difficult and 'frustrating' conversations Biden has had with Netanyahu since the war in Gaza began on October 7.
While Biden publicly supports Israel and the war, tensions have emerged behind the scenes as he has urged Netanyahu to tone down the attacks and raised concern about the number of civilians being killed. There is also growing international pressure on Israel to declare a cease fire.
