In a piece published by the Washington Post, Joe Biden says that a “two-state solution is the only way to ensure the long-term security of both the Israeli and Palestinian people”.

“Ihave been emphatic with Israel’s leaders that extremist violence against Palestinians in the West Bank must stop and that those committing the violence must be held accountable,” he writes, adding that the U.S. fir sanction, including issuing visa bans against extremists attacking civilians in the West Bank.

Biden also says that U.S. allies in Asia “are standing with us as well to support Ukraine and hold Putin accountable, because they understand that stability in Europe and in the Indo-Pacific are inherently connected”.
