Biden to convene G7 leaders after Iran's 'brazen' attack on Israel

President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke Saturday night. Iran's air attack on Israel was called "unprecedented."

The White House said Saturday night President Joe Biden spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by phone after Iran launched an "unprecedented" air attack on Israel that included a slew of drones and missiles. 

President Biden cut a trip to the nearby seaside town Rehoboth Beach, Delaware short, to swiftly return to Washington and meet with his national security team on Saturday afternoon. 

Members of Congress began releasing statements largely in support of Israel defending itself against the attack. 

Iran's Permanent Mission to the U.N. in New York later released a statement on X writing, "The matter can be deemed concluded" after the air assault.

The White House released a statement from President Biden in Washington late Saturday night, as dawn approached in Israel writing, "I've just spoken with Prime Minister Netanyahu to reaffirm America's ironclad commitment to the security of Israel. I told him that Israel demonstrated a remarkable capacity to defend against and defeat even unprecedented attacks"
