While pledging to help organize efforts to rebuild Gaza, US President Joe Biden on Friday said creating a Palestinian state alongside Israel is the “only answer” to the conflict.
He had told the Israelis to stop “intercommunal fighting” in the flashpoint city of Jerusalem, Biden said.
However, the US President stressed “there is no shift in my commitment, commitment to the security of Israel” and added that until the region “unequivocally” acknowledges Israel’s existence “there will be no peace.”
The idea of two states consists of sovereign Palestinian state alongside Israel and Jerusalem as their shared capital. The theory has been the cornerstone of decades of international diplomacy aimed at ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Biden on Friday insisted on a full-blown two state remedy.
“There is no shift in my commitment to the security of Israel, period, no shift, not at all,” he said.
“But I tell you what there is a shift in. The shift is that we still need a two-state solution. It is the only answer, the only answer,” Biden stated.
