National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Thursday that President Joe Biden “still believes in the promise” of achieving a two-state solution between Israel and Palestinians, though he called it “elusive.”
Kirby made the comments during an interview with CBS News hours after Israeli President Isaac Herzog outright dismissed any talks of a two-state solution. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shot down talks of a two-state solution on Wednesday.
“I’ll let Mr. Netanyahu speak for his own intent here. I can only tell you that President Biden still believes in the promise and the potential of a two-state solution,” Kirby told CBS News. “We understand that that’s going to be elusive and we’re not close to getting there.”
