"Each country is entitled to make its own determinations, but the U.S. position on this is clear," Sullivan said. "President Biden, as I just said, has been on the record supporting a two-state solution. He has been equally emphatic on the record that that two-state solution should be brought about through direct negotiations through the parties, not through unilateral recognition. That's a principled position that we have held on a consistent basis. We will communicate that to our partners around the world, and we'll see what unfolds."
The national security adviser explained that Biden "believes that a two-state solution that guarantees Israel's security and also a future of dignity and security for the Palestinian people is the best way to bring about long-term security and stability for everyone in the region – Israelis, Palestinians and Arabs."
