But the White House would not confirm these reports when asked by the <em>Free Beacon<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Biden called Brazil\u2019s newly elected far-left president-elect,\u00a0Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva,\u00a0on Monday, just a day after that country\u2019s elections. This discrepancy is fueling accusations the Biden administration is taking a chilly approach to its diplomacy with Netanyahu, who made history by being elected as Israel\u2019s prime minister for the third time.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told the <em>Free Beacon<\/em> that the president&#8217;s delay in calling Netanyahu &#8220;is not an accident.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;President Biden rushed to call Lula, a committed anti-American Chavista, but is finding every possible excuse not to call the next Prime Minister of Israel. That is not an accident,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;Biden has spent his entire administration undermining America&#8217;s allies and boosting America&#8217;s enemies. The next Republican Congress is going to leverage aggressive oversight and legislation to reverse that recklessness.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time Biden has been accused of dissing Netanyahu. It took Biden nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/republican-leaders-slam-biden-for-not-calling-israeli-pm-netanyahu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a month<\/a> to call Netanyahu upon taking office in 2021, fueling speculation Biden was trying to create some distance with Israel after four years of warm relations under former president Donald Trump.
