US President Joe Biden has urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the legitimate concerns of Palestinians for the long-term sustainability of Israel.
Biden’s call comes amid ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, with the US expecting a ceasefire deal to take effect on Sunday.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has resulted in significant loss of life, displacement, and a hunger crisis in Gaza.
The US has long supported a two-state solution, proposing a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza alongside Israel.
However, Netanyahu’s stance on maintaining security control over all land west of the Jordan River may preclude a sovereign Palestinian state.
