WASHINGTON, April 28 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden spoke on Sunday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a White House spokesperson said, the first conversation between the two leaders in more than two weeks.
The spokesperson said a readout would be issued shortly but did not elaborate.
Speaking before the call took place, a U.S. source familiar with the situation said the two men would discuss the prospects of a possible ceasefire deal to obtain the release of some of the hostages held since the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack.
The two leaders last spoke on April 13, after Iran launched missile and drone strikes against Israel. (Reporting by Jarrett Renshaw and Steve Holland in Washington Writing by David Ljunggren Editing by Matthew Lewis)
