US President Joe Biden has vowed to help organize efforts to “rebuild Gaza,” saying creating a Palestinian state alongside Israel is the “only answer” to the conflict..

“We need a two-state solution. It is the only solution,” said the president during a press conference at the White House on the occasion of the visit of the president of South Korea..

He also asked Israel to put an end to “fights between communities” in Jerusalem, which were at the origin of the clashes in recent days..

“There is no change in my commitment to Israel's security, period, no change, at all,” he nevertheless asserted, adding that “there will be no peace” until the region “unequivocally” acknowledges Israel's existence..

“But I tell you in what there is a change. The change is that we still need a two-state solution.. It is the only answer, the only answer,” insisted the US president.

The idea of a two-state solution, with a sovereign Palestinian state alongside Israel and with Jerusalem as a shared capital, has been the cornerstone of decades of international diplomacy aimed at ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict..

But US policy under the Donald Trump administration was criticized for being blatantly pro-Israel and ignoring the Palestinians..

A Middle East peace plan devised by Jared Kushner, Trump’s adviser and son-in-law was touted as a two-state solution.

But that plan envisioned a Palestinian state with limited sovereignty and whose security was in the hands of Israel. The proposal was flatly rejected by the Palestinian leadership.
