President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris did not call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after a drone crashed on him Saturday after an assassination attempt by Iran-backed Hezbollah.

Still, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Iran that an “assassination attempt” would be a “grave mistake.” (Iran reportedly tried to distance itself from the Hezbollah attack.)
