On Tuesday, Netanyahu voiced appreciation for U.S. efforts to secure backing for tougher sanctions against Iran.
Neither he nor Biden commented on widespread expectation that the U.S. vice president would ask Israel not to attack Iran unilaterally.
Israel, believed to be the Middle East's only nuclear power, has called for sanctions to cripple Iran's trade in oil and gas.
Iran says its nuclear ambitions are for energy only.
