Biden says two-state solution only answer to Israel-Palestine conflict, vows to help rebuild Gaza

US President Joe Biden said a two-state solution was the only answer to resolving the conflict between Israel and Palestine and also pledged to help rebuild Gaza.

US President Joe Biden on Friday said the Democratic Party still supported Israel and he was praying that the ceasefire between Israelis and Hamas would hold. Speaking at a White House news conference, Biden said a two-state solution was the only answer to resolving the conflict between the two sides, and pledged to build a major package with other countries to help rebuild Gaza. Biden, whose administration worked behind the scenes for days to reach a truce, said aid to the region would be coordinated with the Palestinian Authority - Hamas's Western-backed rival in the occupied West Bank - to ensure Hamas was not able to restock its military arsenal.
