Home World Biden uses Gaza ceasefire to reiterate backing of two-state solution 22-05-2021 03:36 PM Ammon News - US President Joe Biden stressed Friday that a two-state solution, a Palestinian state living side by side with Israel, is the only answer to the violence and to solve the conflict. He also told a White House press conference with South Korean President Moon Jae-in that there is no shift in his commitment to the security of Israel, but reiterated his support for the two-state solution. Speaking hours after a ceasefire went into force ending 11 days of deadly Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip and Hamas-fired rockets on Israeli towns, the American president pledged to work with the international community to provide financial aid to rebuild the homes destroyed in the Israeli bombing of Gaza.
