Biden stresses commitment to Israel but says there needs to be a path to a Palestinian state

He said Hamas, the terrorist organization behind the Oct. 7 attack in Israel, needs to be eliminated, but that there needs to be a Palestinian state. Given last weekend‘s terrorist attacks, President Biden says a two-state solution is not possible right now.

„But I think Israel understands that a significant portion of Palestinian people do not share the views of Hamas and Hezbollah,“ Mr. Biden said.
